We have some readers who have seen Perseverance II moving this week. Thanks for Joe and Peter for the updates. If anyone sees Perseverance in her trip south, we would love to have a picture so we can post for others to enjoy!
July 19th Post
Perseverance II passed through the channel going upriver. This 123′ megayacht has four staterooms, and 6 crewmembers. It appears that you can charter the megayacht in the Mediterranean . Wonder why it was in the Saint Lawrence. Does anyone have any info on this?

On the 12th. of october, in the afternoon, the Perseverance II passed in front of my house, in Contrecoeur, near Sorel, probably on its way back to Kingston where it is registered.
One of the most beautyfull yachts I ever saw.

Whose the owner or the Perseverance II
June 6th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Just talked to one of the crew of PerseveranceII. It arrived at the Erie Basin Marina this morning after going thru the Welland Canal. He said they are on the way to Chicago. They are about 20 days behind schedule because of engine problems along the way. They just fueled up with nearly 7000 gallons of fuel, but are not full. Two (smaller) tankers fueled them, but because of the set up at the Erie Basin Marina, that’s all that could get into it so they got less than a full fill up. Might leave today to continue on to Chicage.
BEAUTIFUL SHIP!!!!!!!
