Hitler's Yacht in Jacksonville
It Finally Sank Off Miami Beach
In the 1980's, I came across an old derelict sailboat in a boatyard on the Trout River in Jacksonville. A worker said the yacht had once belonged to Hitler.
I researched the matter, and found that during World War Two, Hitler had an 85 foot sailing yacht built for himself named "Ostwind". He planned to sail into England after Germany had won World War Two and accept Winston Churchill's surrender aboard the yacht. Luckily for history, that never happened.
