Herreshoff Marine Museum / America's Cup Hall Of Fame

Herreshoff Marine Museum / America's Cup Hall Of Fame Review

On the grounds of the prestigious Herreshoff boat manufacturing company, which produced some of the world's sleekest racing yachts during its operations from 1863 to 1945, this museum traces the company's illustrious history. The museum contains some 60 vintage Herreshoff boats, some dating to the mid-19th century, including several that defended the prestigious America's Cup yacht races. Old ship engines, photographs, and memorabilia shed further light on the "Golden Age of Yachting." On the grounds, the America's Cup Hall of Fame celebrates the careers of the many great yachting enthusiasts who have excelled during this seminal international sailing regatta.
