Accommodations
While a Commuter yacht was generally considered a day boat, JUSTICE does possess well-appointed accommodations for four in the owner’s party plus crew quarters forward for two.
The pilothouse incorporates comfortable seating aft of the helm station. Immediately aft of this is the mid-deck dining area, with a beautifully varnished table and bench seating for six. Finally, is the aft cockpit with a full beam settee and inlaid teak coffee table flanked by two chairs. Access to the owner’s cabin with ensuite head and separate stall shower is through a canvas and Eisenglass enclosed open air lounge.
Forward of the pilothouse, down a short companionway is the elegantly appointed saloon finished in English Pumpkin Pine paneling. Period chairs, a sofa, two end tables, and a bar area all complement this area. A day head is located to the port side adjacent to a hidden entertainment center. Down two steps aft from the saloon is the guest stateroom with a full to queen size custom berth to port and a head with shower to starboard. The engine room access is immediately aft.
A full width galley, down three steps, is forward of the main salon. Ventilation is provided by portlights and deck opening hatches, while a dorade box on deck provides stovetop exhaust. Centerline, a door forward leads into the crew cabin with two berths, a dinette, hanging lockers, and a head with shower. Separate foredeck access from the crew cabin is via a mahogany ladder.
The foredeck area has two fixed teak chaise lounge chairs and a bow cockpit with settee and adjustable mahogany and glass windshield to protect from spray and wind.

Broker Remarks and History
JUSTICE (built as JEM) is one of the largest of the express commuter yachts and was built originally for the personal use of Jeremiah Milbank in 1930 for travel between his home in Greenwich, CT and the NYYC docks in lower Manhattan. She was designed by the respected marine architect John H. Wells of New York and built by Consolidated Shipbuilding in Morris Heights, NY. Her original cost in 1930 was $82,000.
The vessel was built on white oak frames with inner planking of ½” white Cedar and outer planking of 5/8” Honduran mahogany. The decks, now teak, replaced the original virgin white pine. The yacht has an overall length of 75’ 6”, a 13’ beam and a draft of 4’. All her fastenings are copper and brass.
Originally powered by two 500hp Winton gasoline engines, JUSTICE underwent several upgrades over the years. In 1947, she transitioned to a pair of Gray Marine diesels, followed by General Motors 6110’s in 1952. In 1998, 800hp Caterpillar diesels were installed, later replaced in 2009 by her current 825hp IVECO engines.
During World War II, JEM served as US Navy Patrol Boat Q67, earning three brass chevrons on her cabin side. Her exceptional speed made her adept at patrolling for submarines.
JEM has hosted numerous dignitaries through her 94 year history. In the Summer of 1930, JEM was at the disposal of President Hoover, a friend of Mr. Milbank, then financial secretary of the Republican Party. Archie Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt spent a number of weekends aboard JEM. Following her service in World War II, General and Mrs. Douglas MacArthur were frequent passengers. Through the postwar era until 1998 the yacht had only one Captain, Ray Thombs, who fastidiously maintained JEM in her original beauty.
JUSTICE has had an eventful history transitioning from a commuter yacht to a cruising vessel under six owners since 1930. The Milbank estate sold JEM in 1972 to George Lauder, who renamed her JESSICA. In 1985, Ted Valpey Jr. of New Hampshire became the owner until 1997 when she was sold and acquired by Arthur J. Halleran Jr., who reverted to the name JEM. José “Pepe” Fanjul purchased her in 2003, renaming her AZUCAR before her latest ownership change in 2005.
JUSTICE is a premier example of American yachting pedigree. Rare and distinctive, she embodies the essence of a true gentleman's yacht in every aspect.
