| Three articles in the Thursday, October 4, 1928 edition of The Bath Independent (price three cents) about the luxury yacht Vanda.

The third article continues on page three which was not available from the source. Also attached to this item is what appears to be an advertisement from Bath Iron Works which includes a photo of Vanda in the upper right. | Description: Three articles in the Thursday, October 4, 1928 edition of The Bath Independent (price three cents) about the luxury yacht Vanda.
