[1] When his brother Julius died suddenly in 1925, Max assumed management control of the company but did not wish to move from California and his other interests, including yachting, so stood down from that role in 1929.

[4] Haida is still powered by her original pair of diesel engines, also made by Krupp, totalling 1,500 hp (1,100 kW), driving twin propellers and giving her a speed of 14.5 knots (26.9 km/h; 16.7 mph).

[3] The yacht was acquired by the Navy on 25 October 1940 from Mrs. Max C. Fleischmann of Glenbrook, Nevada; converted at Long Beach, California by the Craig Shipbuilding Company for naval service and renamed Argus on 14 November 1940.

Pioneer was able to accomplish little survey work before the entry of the United States into World War II led to her return to the U.S. Navy on 16 March 1942 under Executive Order 9072 of 24 February 1942.

[8] Pioneer was returned to the Navy on 16 March 1942 and, after reconversion at the General Engineering & Drydock Company, she was recommissioned at San Francisco on 18 April, again as Argus.

[5] In the second event, Argus participated in the establishment of a weather station on the uninhabited French Clipperton Island, 670 mi (1,080 km) southwest of Acapulco, Mexico.

Departing San Francisco on 4 December 1944 with meteorological personnel embarked, the converted yacht reached the island a week later and landed her passengers.

[3][7] In the late 1960s Sarina was briefly owned by Larry Green, an American businessman involved in the motor trade, and was then sold to former British Member of Parliament Loel Guinness in 1969.

After two years, after extensive cruising throughout Europe and the Caribbean, Stigwood sold Sarina (without the dummy funnel) to a British-resident American art collector, Stanley J. Seeger, who renamed her Rosenkavalier.

[1][7] A Swiss-based businessman bought the yacht in 1999, renamed her Haida G, and set about another major restoration in France and Turkey, including a complete refit of the original Krupp diesel engines.
