## History

Feiseen was a 78 feet 9 inches (24.00 m) long steam yacht built in 1893 under commission by William B. Cogswell, and was designed by William Gardner and Charles Mosher. It displaced 13 tons and was powered by a quadruple expansion steam engine which could output 600 horsepower (450 kW).

On 25 August 1893, Feiseen outpaced the Monmouth in a 7.25-mile race to break the water speed record with a speed of 31.6 mph (27.5 kn), previously held by the Adler.

On 1 November 1893, the Brazilian government purchased Feiseen for an estimated cost of $20,000 (equivalent to $651,407 in 2022). She had 9 feet added to her length, was renamed to Inhanduay and converted into a torpedo boat to be stationed on the Nictheroy.
