Emery Jackson, Class of 2006- Completes Tender for SPARTAN


SPARTAN’S DINGHY

In 1899, N. G. Herreshoff designed a 14 ft. lifeboat for the America’s Cup defender COLUMBIA. The performance of this boat was so satisfactory that most of the many dinghies subsequently built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company were variations of this boat’s model, altered as Mr. Herreshoff saw fit to suit each boat’s particular use.
