 The drawings produced from the original "Swift" have been used as the basis for several tall ship designs, mostly due to their completeness in an era which produced few detailed drawings (most ship designs having been scale models which have not survived intact).Soon after completion, "Swift of Ipswich" was sold to actor James Cagney and transported to Newport Beach, where she served as his private yacht and appeared in numerous Hollywood films.After being sold by Cagney in 1958, the "Swift" was used for various purposes, such as harbor tours, before being acquired by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute in 1991.
