She keeps her original layout, woodwork, built-in furnishings and probably her engines.","narrative":"Renown is a wooden motor yacht built in 1940 and now moored at a marina in San Diego, California. Launched as the Jinia III by the Mathis Yacht Building Company of Camden, New Jersey, she was designed by naval architect John Trumpy, Sr. She measures 65.4 feet on deck, with oak frames, pine planking, teak decks and twin Detroit diesel engines. Inside are a walnut-paneled saloon, a galley, two guest bunk rooms and a master stateroom, much of it original woodwork and built-in furniture. She was listed as an example of the shallow-draft luxury cruisers Trumpy produced, which were prized by wealthy owners. Renown was among the last five Trumpy yachts built at the Mathis yard before wartime production took over, and only about 25 of the firm's pre-war yachts are believed to survive. Comparison with 1941 photographs shows that her layout, detailing and key fittings remain largely intact, including the ship's wheel and galley cabinets. Later changes, such as a bar added around 1980, are minor.","period_of_significance":"1940","architect_builder":"John Trumpy, Sr. (naval architect); Mathis Yacht Building Co.
