This is a magnificent book of lush images by celebrated photographer Franco Pace. It pays tribute to the work of the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, providing an insight into the detail and precision which infused the work of brothers John and Nathanael Herreshoff, of Bristol, Rhode Island. There are historical photos as well, but the lion's share of the book are Pace's trademark full-spread and full page photos of the boats in their element. Also included with each boat featured are extensive interior shots, Included are the 53 meter schooner Elenora, the 1915 schooner Mariette, Marilee, Oriole, Amorita, Bounty, Ticonderoga, and more. The clarity of the images will astound.
