Antique Boat Now Offers Private Charters on the Potomac
Last month the privately owned, 127-foot Miss Ann began offering charters for Potomac River cruises and dockside events. Built in 1927 as a luxury yacht for a Detroit industrialist, the vintage ship has two public levels that accommodate 100 for receptions and 50 seated.

The carpeted main salon has a rich walnut-paneled interior and antique and reproduction furniture of the period. French doors open onto a covered bar area with four cocktail tables. Two sets of stairs take guests to a covered upper deck furnished with contemporary patio tables and chairs.
