On John Kennedy’s 15th birthday, his parents gave him a 26 foot Wianno Senior sailboat he called Victura. It was the first of many boats that he’d captain, including the PT 109, a 92 foot Presidential yacht called Honey Fitz and a 62 foot sailboat called the Manitou. But it’s said he loved his first boat best. The night before he died, he doodled an image of it on stationery from the Rice Hotel in Houston. The boat, hull number 94, is now proudly displayed outside the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, Massachusetts.
