Commercial vessels were not the only ships where automatic musical
instruments were to be found.  Several of the grand steam yachts were
also equipped with player pipe organs.

 - DELPHINE, the Dodge yacht, had a 2/16 Aeolian with the Duo-Art player.

 - MAY, the yacht for Capt. De Lamar, had a 2/12 Aeolian.

 - HILDEGARD, the Whitlock steam yacht, had an Aeolian in 1898, their
first one aboard a ship.

 - NIAGARA, the Howard Gould yacht, had a Style 5 Welte orchestrion.

 - NOMA, the W. B. Leeds yacht, had a Style 4 Welte orchestrion.

 - ISIS, the Spaulding steamer, had a 2/15 Estey organ.

 - The yacht for Col. Deeds had a 2/9 Skinner organ in 1929.

Most of the rest of the oceangoing steam yachts had a piano.
