of the Naval Academy. Lloyd Phoenix graduated from the U.S. Naval
Academy in 1861 and served in until the Civil War. He resigned his
commission in 1865, went into business, and became a yachting
enthusiast. He won the Aloha Cup in an annual cruise of the New
York Yacht Club in 1910, sailing his most famous yacht, Intrepid. |
