This is Luders hull #1007 and L5.5#6.
Sail letters BA-1. Db number BAH-001.
John B#1 never existed. John B sails in the American folksong "Sloop John B". It was first recorded 1927. Best known version of the song is recorded on the Beach Boys LP 'Pet Sounds' from 1966.
John B2 is the first of the John B's dynasty...

According to Matti Muoniovaara's source, "John B1" never existed. As he wrote in a previous note : "But where is John B the first ? I have come to conclusion that there was no first John B."
