==History==
The English industrialist [[Bernard Docker]] commissioned [[John I. Thornycroft & Company]] to build a yacht to his specifications.<ref name=RPTDH231_233The /><refyacht name="CharterWorld"was />built Theat yachtThornycroft's yard at [[Woolston, Southampton|Woolston]], [[Southampton]]. She was completed in 1938 and christened MY ''Shemara''.<ref name=RPTDH231_233 /><ref name="CharterWorld" />
 
MY ''Shemara'' was requisitioned by the [[Royal Navy]] at the start of the Second World War in 1939 and used as a training vessel for anti-submarine warfare. (See also [[Madiz]], a similar super yacht that saw RN Service in WWII). It was during a training exercise with HMS ''Shemara'' that the submarine [[HMS Untamed (P58)|HMS ''Untamed'']] was lost with all her crew.<ref name="SubMuseumLosses8" /> ''Shemara'' left RNRoyal Navy service in 1946.<ref name="SubMuseumLosses8"/><ref name=Uboat/>
 
TheOnce returned to Docker's ownership, the ''Shemara'' became known for lavish parties with guests including [[Farouk of Egypt|King Farouk of Egypt]]. However, in 1965, Docker put her on the market for £600,000., and Sheshe was eventually sold to the property developer [[Harry Hyams]] for £290,000. Hyams used the ''Shemara'' on a number of [[Mediterranean]] cruises, but she was largely left laid up in [[Lowestoft]], and was not regularly used between the 1980s and 2010.<ref name="NITelegraph" /><ref name=Torygraph/>
 
In 2010 the ''Shemara'' was bought by businessman [[Charles Dunstone|Sir Charles Dunstone]], and a project was started to return her to her former glory. In order to achieve this, a new company, [[Shemara Refit LLP]], was created. The refit was completed in 2014, and the yacht now has a contemporary interior while retaining many of her historic original features, including as much of her original steel and teak as possible. The ship's machinery was completely replaced with a new [[Rolls-Royce Holdings|Rolls-Royce]] diesel-electric system comprising five main generators providing power for two electrically driven [[azimuthing pod]]s and a [[bow thruster]].<ref name=WightShipyardEdmiston/><ref name=EdmistonSuperyacht/><ref name=Dunstone/><ref name=WightShipyard/>▼
