''Lady Hutton'' is a former luxury yacht built in 1924 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel, Germany. She has now been converted to a hotel and restaurant ship, riding at anchor at the Riddarholmen in Stockholm since 1982.

"The largest of its day," she is steel-and-nickel hulled and was opulently outfitted.
