The "Angelita", the four-mast tall ship bought by Rafael Trujillo in 1955, returned to Santo Domingo yesterday for a brief visit. It caused quite a stir. The ship, perhaps the largest private sailing yacht ever built, is now the Sea Cloud, and provides luxury sailing cruises around the world.

The ship arrived in Santo Domingo harbor in the morning and left at six o'clock in the afternoon. At first Captain Richard Shannon did not want any visitors but eventually allowed a few lucky people to take a look at a piece of Dominican history. Former dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina bought the ship from Marjorie Merriweather Post, whom he had known for some time.
