The end of a Queen

Concerned by her impending fate, Boston yachtmen pooled their resources to buy the wreck and scuttled her "decently" at their own expense.
On May 26th, 1929, the long iron hull was towed offshore by an US Navy tug. After a last salute, they tried to scuttle it, without success. The warship Mojave had to bombard it and Mischief sank 'decently' before more than twenty yachts representing the most prestigious East coast yacht clubs.
