USS Mizpah (PY-29)
The USS Mizpah (PY-29) was a United States Navy vessel.
==History==
This ship was laid down in 1926 from the parts of an abandoned new destroyer as the pleasure yacht ''Savanarola'' by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of Newport News, Virginia, for Mrs. Richard M. Cadwalader of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. It was acquired in 1927 by Mrs. Cadwalader's son, Mr. Richard M. Cadwalader, Jr., also of Fort Washington, and renamed the ''Sequoia''. In 1929 it was sold to Eugene F. McDonald of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founder and president of the Zenith Radio Corporation,〔Rethford, Wayne. "The Zenith Radio Corporation, Founded by Eugene F. McDonald." ''Scots, Great and Small'', Internet website, () Retrieved 11 January 2013.〕 who renamed it the ''Allegro'' and used it both as a Chicago residence and a floating laboratory on which to test the electronics company's new products. One of the largest yachts on the Great Lakes in its heyday, the ship was renamed the ''Mizpah'' in 1929.
Only a year after commissioning the construction of the ''Mizpah'', the Cadwaladers built a smaller ship, the ''USS Sequoia II'', a 104-foot pleasure yacht that was subsequently purchased by the U.S. government and named the USS ''Sequoia'' for use by U.S. presidents. Numerous significant historical events took place on the ''Sequoia'' between the presidential administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan.
