Bayard Brown, the great benefactor of the Colne.

American owner of the steam yacht Valfreyia ,  McEvers Bayard Brown. The millionaire lived for many years on board his yacht in the Forrest's dry dock. He got round the demand for rates by getting up steam every day and telling the council he was leaving on the next tide, but he never actually left the dock until his death in 1926.
His body was flown back to the USA and his yacht Valfreya was sold to the Maharajah Jam Sahib of Nawangar and renamed the Star of Asia
