CAPTAIN NAT'S LEGACY

Sailing wouldn't be the same without Nathaniel Herreshoff and his legendary boatyard, the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. Captain Nat revolutionized sailboat design in the late 19th century and built five successful America's Cup defenders. This site pays homage to this great naval architect and the museum in Bristol, Rhode Island, that honors his work. Tour the museum on line, view countless photos of boats designed by the yard, or just read the history of the company and its founders. Sailors and history buffs alike will be mesmerized by the perfect lines of the vessels pictured on the site.
