The Herreshoff Marine Museum was founded back in 1971, as a way to preserve the unique accomplishments of the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company.
Today, the campus is now home to a large museum facility, as well as the old family homestead, six former company buildings, and a beautiful waterfront too!
Did you know that Rhode Island's LARGEST boat ("Sprite") was a Herreshoff design? In fact, the first U Navy torpedo boats, as well as the principal one design racers of the New York Yacht Club, and the finest light weight steam machinery were all Herreshoff designs too.
So you see, there is a LOT of history to uncover at the Herreshoff Marine Museum!
Today, the museum boats over 60 significant boats, as well as the model room that holds a collection that is unique in the world. The 500 models are works of art in themselves, and always fascinating to see!
