The Belem was a merchant ship (1896-1913) On 10 June 1896, the Dubigeon shipyards in Chantenay-sur-Loire launched the three-masted Belem for the Crouan shipping company. From 1896 to 1913, the ship was fitted out for trade and made 33 transatlantic voyages, mainly to Brazil, from where she brought back cocoa beans for the chocolate maker Menier, her first sponsor, and also to French Guiana and the West Indies to transport rum and sugar. In 1914 the Belem became a British luxury yacht 1914 – 1950
The ship was bought by the Duke of Westminster who transformed her into a pleasure yacht and equipped her with engines. He sold her in 1921 to Sir Arthur Ernest Guinness who renamed her Fantôme II, completed her fitting out and made many voyages on board, including a round the world trip in 1923-1924.
