FREE DAY - 11/16 - A Fun Day and a Great Success

We welcomed visitors from far and wide to our FREE DAY on November 16th. The Museum has been hosting 2 days of FREE admission every year - one in the spring and one in the fall. The event was a huge success as we saw more visitors in one day than we have ever had before. Our crowd of 600+ visitors enjoyed tours with our CEO, Dyer Jones.

Winter Lecture Series Continues on January 16th with Cory Silken

Cory Silken is a yachting and luxury lifestyle photographer based in Newport, Rhode Island. Silken regularly travels to the Caribbean and throughout the world for fine art and commercial projects. His dynamic and creative imagery appears in most of the major yachting magazines around the globe, and is published in numerous books, including Herreshoff Sailboats. His clients range from local organizations, such as the International Yacht Restoration School, to some of the top shipyards in the world, such as Royal Huisman and Pendennis, and he also photographs regattas for title sponsors such as Panerai and Bacardi.

We are sure this will be another great evening and we look forward to seeing you all there.

Doors at 6. Lecture at 7.

Museum Awarded Grant from the Champlin Foundations

We are happy to announce that the Champlin Foundations has awarded us a grant for $54,000 to replace the carpeting in the Museum. It will be installed during the winter and give the Museum a much needed "floor lift." This improvement to our exhibit spaces will truly elevate our visitors experience. We look forward to sharing our updated look with you in the spring!

Boats for Sale

We currently have a Herreshoff 12 � and a skiff for sale.

For more information on these boats please contact the Museum: 401.253.5000.
