Bill Kilbourne, whose daughter Laurie owns the Manitou, said the 62-foot vessel once carried Kennedy and members of his famed family and may have once been visited by late Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe, The Boston Globe reported Sunday.

"It had Bobby Kennedy on it. It had Teddy Kennedy on it. It may have even had Marilyn Monroe on it," Kilbourne said of the vessel being sold at the United States Sailboat Show.

The Kennedy Library's Web site said Kennedy first purchased the yacht in 1962 from the U.S. Coast Guard, which resumed ownership of the vessel after the president was assassinated in 1963.

The vessel was then sold to Maryland's Harry Lundeberg School of Seamanship and purchased in 1999 by Laurie Kilbourne for $35,000.

The Globe said Kilbourne, who restored the craft to its former glory, is seeking $1.3 million for the former Kennedy yacht.
