The Herreshoff Manufacturing Company constructed the most
thrilling, innovative and graceful boats ever built in the United
States. Here the finest of the Herreshoff designs afloat today are
presented with insightful commentary on design evolution in every
facet-from lines to displacement to hardware, accompanied by
full-colour images of each vessel both in detail and under way, and
unique colour reproductions of Herreshoff's archival plans and
drawings. Each entry incorporates a history of the boat (or class),
its owners, race results and fate, celebrating the many that still
grace the waters.
A beautiful and indispensable guide to wooden power boats by America's preeminent photographer of wooden boats.
This small, elegant book of the most gorgeous wooden powerboats in the world is divided into five categories — launches, runabouts and racers, power cruisers, motor yachts, and work boats. Among the magnificent vessels included are Kittywake, a 100-year-old British steam launch, and Jessica, a legendary 75-foot motor yacht built in 1930 whose early years were spent as a fast commute to New York City through Long Island Sound. Also presented here are converted shrimp boats, tugboats, gold cup racers, and the stunning Principia, a gleaming 96-foot power yacht and favorite among enthusiasts.
This magnificent collection of full-color photographs by renowned
photographer Benjamin Mendlowitz of beautiful vessels includes
wooden boats ranging from simple prams to sailing and power yachts.
Noted marine historian Maynard Bray provides commentary on more
than 90 of the world's most photogenic boats.
A full-colour volume which showcases marine photographer Ben
Mendlowitz's ability to capture the essence of a classic wooden
boat, whether it is a canoe, speedboat, luxury yacht or schooner.
