Argossy

According to German yacht spotters, the classic 71.5-metre 1931 superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3492" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Argossy71.5m (234'7&quot;)Krupp Germania Werft1931">Argossy</a>, previously Rossy One and originally Argosy, was discharged from a carrier vessel in Brake on 3rd January 2022. First arriving in Bremerhaven, the yacht was then towed by the tug En Avant 13 on the River Weser toward Brake.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215297/image/large-9601d87e80221c75c403187df34a2d47.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215297">Like many classic vessels of her pedigree, the yacht has a spotted history, but it is known that in March 2021 she was acquired at an auction in Napoli, where she had laid-up after an incomplete rebuild for many years. At the moment her final destination within Germany is not known, but we expect that she will now undergo a major refit at one of the German shipyards.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215300/image/large-43f2bed30649cf9c3ed8446576b2fe0a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215300"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3492" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Argossy71.5m (234'7&quot;)Krupp Germania Werft1931">Argossy</a> was built by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/263" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Krupp Germania Werft (Company)">Krupp Germania Werft</a> in the interwar period for Charles A.

At this time Vita changed hands and was purchased by a French resident. While her wartime activities are unknown, by 1947 she was armed and renamed Ben Hecht, under which name she changed hands a number of times, until 1957 when she was put to work as a ferry running between Capri and Naples under the name Santa Maria Del Mare.&nbsp;In 2007 she was sold to an Italian owner and became Rossy One.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215299/image/large-bf49ba3a00e17d7c8db9181cdc559e99.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215299">Under the name Rossy One restoration work began in Naples and <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/the-rebuild-of-superyacht-santa-maria-del-mare-1931" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Italian designer Luca Dini was commissioned to return her to her classic glory</a>, creating a series of designs for the restoration of the superyacht.

The 1931 classic yacht Argossy has been spotted in Germany where she may now be about to undergo restoration.

Luca Dini has released more information to SuperYachtTimes.com about a highly impressive 71m rebuilt project, taking place in Italy. Originally built 1931 by Krupp shipyard in Germany as Argosy, she was sold in 1934 to Sir Thomas Sopwith, to be used as an escort ship to Endeavour, under her new name Vita.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/129719/image/large-346c723c10b1f0b615b7f58e7bfca4dc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129719" class="legacy">Vita was sold again in 1937, and was used by the US Navy in WWII.
