Inconsistency regarding yacht Fleur de Lys

An apparent inconsistency in newspaper records regarding Stimson's pilot schooner yacht Fleur-de-Lys: New York Times reports the Fleur de Lys in Palermo, Sicily May 29, 1904, and Lewis Stimson as the owner. (“American Yachts in Foreign Waters”) reported in New York Times at https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1904/05/29/120286668.html?pageNumber=13

Then a year later March 28, 1905 the New York Times reports Stimson’s Fleur-de-Lys as entering the Kaiser’s Cup Race. And another reports Stimson as a dinner guest aboard the Kaiser's Yacht .https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1905/03/28/101356857.html

But the Boston Globe on February 7 1904 had reported the pilot schooner Fleur-de-Lis as “among the corpses” deteriorating on a Boston mud flat. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-boston-globe-cemetery/75181433/.

It would not be feasible to re-float, repair, re-equip, and sail Fleur de Lys from a Boston mud flat to Palermo, Sicily in the three months between between February 1904 and May 1904. As between three New York Times articles reporting a live sailing vessel capable of entering a race and one article on a derelict rotting schooner on a mud flat, possibly the Boston Globe may have got the name wrong. Or there were two pilot schooners with the same name.

Still, this apparent inconsistency the article needs to address, here or in the Wikipedua article on the schooner yacht Fleur de Lys or both. Possibly can be resolved with research in the New York Yacht Club records on Stimson’s Fleur de Lys specifications, to compare with the description of Boston's derelict.
