Source 1 - Kenealy (1899), p. 62 "The first American iron yacht was the cutter Vindex, designed by Mr. A. Cary Smith in 1870 for Mr. Robert Center."
Source 2 - Vancouver Daily World, page 8 All the yachts were of wood with a single notable exception, the Iron cutter Vindex, designed by Mr. A. Cary Smith for Robert Center, the first American cutter, the first Iron yacht and the first yacht built from a design on paper Instead of from the wooden block model.
