It would be interesting to have a side by side comparison of the two vessels Sequoia and Potomac.
So one could discover the improvements to Potomac. Metrics like length, hull shape, even HP of the engines,
speed in knots, manufacturer, etc. Looking at the pics I believe the Potomac could make better speed and
perhaps more armor due to WW2.
Wikipedia has a fascinating read with an article of the Sequoia <click here

Especially to see the Wiki Commons for photos. Good collection.

Sequoia was essentially a large houseboat, Potomac was a converted Coast Guard cutter. Both were much smaller than the previous Presidential yacht, Mayflower. For official histories and dimensions of all three ships, see the Navy History and Heritage Command website:
