	The [[WPHC]] had an entire file on the Yankee. Permission was requested, and granted, to visit the Gilberts for the purpose of searching for Amelia Earhart. On September 14, 1940, [[Jack Barley]], the Resident Commissioner of the [[Gilbert & Ellice Islands Colony]] reported to his boss [[Sir Harry Luke]], the High Commissioner, with the dates that the Yankee had visited various islands within the colony. There is no mention of the yacht calling at any island of the [[Phoenix Group]]. According to Barley, the ~~ships compliment~~ was 19 and all were U.S. citizens. Barley concludes his report with this paragraph:		The [[WPHC]] had an entire file on the Yankee.

	::"All my sources of information state that the activities of the party appeared to be only those of ordinary tourists -- bathing, sightseeing and fishing. Mention of Mrs. Putnam was made on one or two occasions, but the 'search' was purely incidental to the voyage. Personally I incline to view that the question of Mrs. Putnam's disappearance was linked to the Yankee's voyage very largely in order to ensure publicity for Captain Johnson who, as Your Excellency will be aware, runs these voyages on a profit-making basis."		::"All my sources of information state that the activities of the party appeared to be only those of ordinary tourists -- bathing, sightseeing and fishing.

 The ''Yankee'' was "a North Sea pilot ship and schooner rigged" owned and skippered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Johnson Irving Johnson,] who was quite renowned in the yachting community.  The [[Amelia Earhart Foundation]] apparently funded the trip to search the [[Gilberts]] for traces of Earhart and Noonan.
