Synopsis
Nathanael G. Herreshoff was the greatest yacht and marine designer and builder this country has ever produced.

The period of his greatest activity from 1890 to 1920 was known as "the Herreshoff Era," so greatly did his personality and the yachts he designed dominate the sport. He was a man of manifold talents and unusual genius, and his career makes one of the most fascinating biographies. Many of the closely guarded secrets of Captain Nat, the great master, are revealed in these pages, which teem with human interest, philosophy, and the accumulated wisdom of a long-lived genius., Nathaniel G.
