The Helene was built in Bay City in 1927 for Charles Sorenson of the Ford Motor Company. In the later years it was owned by the Verbeist family of Grosse Pointe, Michigan. They were the owners of the Michigan Mutual Insurance Company. The Yacht was docked at Kean's marina in Detroit. The Captain for many years has been Bill Graham. It had an exceptional saloon crafted out of mahogany, spacious crew quarters, and a multitude of bedrooms. It is my understanding that the boat is available for charter.
