Highlights from the Collection: the RELIANCE wheel (Part II)
A chance discovery leads to a very exciting acquisition for HMM! What happened to RELIANCE after she won the Cup, and how did one of her wheels end up in Yonkers?
Did you build the
Bevin's Skiff last week? We would love to see pictures of your creations. Share your projects on social media with #HerreshoffAtHome and we might highlight your work on our website. Don’t forgot to tag and follow us @herreshoff on Facebook and Instagram.
Lecture Video: "Rhode Island Shipwrecks" by Charlotte Taylor
Charlotte Taylor is the author of Images of America: Rhode Island Shipwrecks, published in 2017. She was the host of the Annual Carlton Pinheiro Lecture on November 14th, 2019. Click the button below to watch a recording of that event.
We gratefully acknowledge the folks at Red Hook Water Stories and Portside New York for helping us gain a better understanding of the history of the waterfront at Erie Basin for our RELIANCE post today! Check out their “
E-Museum” for oral histories, historic photos and maps showing the evolution of the working waterfront in South Brooklyn.
Providing an exciting, interesting and educational Museum experience takes creative talent, time and funding. We rely on our members and supporters for help in all three areas to raise the Museum experience.
