The Herreshoff Museum is a gem. Many say it cannot stand alone and should merge with IYRS or Mystic. I have no idea what is best. What I do know is that the collection merits protecting for future generations. The breadth of experience is staggering. Dinghys, small centerboard boats, finn keels, telescoping masts, wishbone booms, roller furling, powerboats, steam engines, sewing machines, America’s Cup defenders, catamarans. I look forward to visiting again soon.
Amaryllis, the catamaran patented by Nathaniel Herreshoff in 1877, has attracted new attention since the America’s Cup will be sailed in catamarans.
Very cool place indeed! Thanks for sharing Steven. Bill
I’d bet those bronze knees are actually on Clara.

I’ve heard of it, but never been there. You have stimulated a visit! Thanks.
