-The '''''Elizabeth''''' is a sailboat that was owned by [[David (Libby's husband)|David]], who died leaving it to [[Libby]], who gave it to [[Desmond]].

-==About the ''Elizabeth''==
-While [[Libby]] was in a coffeehouse in [[America]], she offered to pay [[Desmond]]'s bill, as he only had British currency. Desmond jokingly asked her for $[[42]],000 to pay for a boat. [[Libby]] asked why he needed a boat; Desmond replied that he was going to participate in a race around that world, thereby proving to [[Charles Widmore]] that he was not a coward. Libby proceeded to tell him that her husband [[David (Libby's husband)|David]], who had passed away a month prior, was an avid boating fan. He had purchased a yacht, which he named the ''Elizabeth'' (probably after Libby herself), intending to sail in the Mediterrarean. Libby encouraged Desmond to take it, saying that it was what David would have wanted. Desmond promised her that he would win the race in the name of love.

-However, whilst sailing across the Pacific, the boat was hit by a storm, and Desmond was knocked unconscious. His body washed ashore onto the [[The Island|Island]], where [[Kelvin Inman]] found him. While Desmond remained in the Swan station, Kelvin secretly repaired the ''Elizabeth'' at the [[cove]] in hopes of leaving, keeping Desmond away with lies about infectious agents on the island. When eventually [[Desmond]] decided to risk following Kelvin out of the [[Swan]], he saw the ''Elizabeth'' and confronted Kelvin. Desmond pushed Kelvin over, who accidentally smashed his head against a sharp rock, appearing to die instantly.

-When he damaged the [[Swan]]'s computer, Desmond fled, leaving the job of pushing the button to the castaways. One season later, as the burial of Libby was taking place, the ''Elizabeth'' appeared offshore. [[Jack]], [[Sayid]], and [[Sawyer]] swam out to the boat where they found a drunken and surprised Desmond aboard. He claimed that when he had fled, he sailed West for about two and a half weeks in the open sea at 9 knots, expecting to arrive at Fiji in less then a week. The group anchored the boat offshore, taking it's dinghy, which contained a bag of nautical emergency supplies, back to the [[beach]]. The boat itself had a GPS receiver.
-After this incident, [[Sayid]] used the ''Elizabeth'' with the help of [[Sun]] and [[Jin]] to reach the Others' decoy village. While aboard, they spotted the four-toed foot of a [[statue]] along the coastline. [[Colleen]] and a group of [[Others]] confinscated the yacht after being instructed by [[Ben]] to take it. During this confrontation, Sun shot Colleen and escaped. Colleen later died. The ''Elizabeth'' is currently in the possession of the Others.
-==Trivia==
-*The ship is registered in Newport Beach, also the locale of Fox's series The O.C., where [[Alan Dale]] (who plays [[Charles Widmore]]) also played a shady tycoon.
-*The real ship is in Koolina, Hawaii, and it is also registered in Newport Beach. (Source: [http://www.lostvirtualtour.com/lost/filming_locations/koolinamarina/ Lostvirtualtour].)
-**The ship model is possibly a Nautor Swan.  Models 431 and 42 look similar to the ''Elizabeth''.
-**[http://www.mowee.com Mowee.com] - An unverified webpage which claims to be a message to the real owner of the Mowee, the boat used to depict the ''Elizabeth''.
