A General Description of Motor Yacht THEA FOSS

This motor yacht THEA FOSS is a superyacht of good sized proportions. This 37 metre (120 ft) luxury yacht was begun and finished at Craig Shipbuilding in 1930. THEA FOSS was previously registered as the project or yacht name Infanta; Polaris; Pyc 6 Amber (Usn); Polaris. The naval architect that made this yacht's design for the yacht was L.E. Geary.

The Thea Foss was built as the yacht Infanta in 1930 by the Craig Shipbuilding Company of Long Beach, California. She was 120 feet in length with a beam of 21 feet and six inches. The Infanta served the US Navy in World War II as the patrol vessel Amber. The yacht was then sold by the US Government to a group of geological scientists who used the vessel for private surveys off the coast of lower California. The group did not change the boat's name, AMBER, nor did they after the boat's appearance or fixtures from when the navy used her as a patrol boat during the war. Foss bought the yacht in 1950 and converted the yacht at the Tacoma shipyard to her former glory.
