The turbine yacht TS Vanadis was designed by Clinton Crane of Tams, Lemoine & Crane in New York, built at A. & J. Inglis, Pointhouse, Glasgow and launched in 1908. She was ordered by Mr. C.K.G. Billings of New York. She was built of steel, rigged as a triple screw schooner and, unusually, was powered by steam turbines. Capable of 16½ knots at full speed, she was registered at 1,092 tons gross and measured 249½ feet in length with a 32½ foot beam. She was sold in 1916 to Mr. M.F. Plant. She was then used by the Russian Navy under the name of Poryvs from 1917-1919. Sold to Baron de Linder and renamed Finlandia. In 1925 she was bought by Lt. Cmdr. Montague Grahame-White for his charter business and renamed to Ianara. Sold for the last time in 1935, she was reportedly broken up in 1938.
