EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the American schooner Westward, a magnificent vessel built by Herreshoff in 1910. Weighing in at 323 tonnes, the Westward was a force to be reckoned with on the racing circuit. In her inaugural year, she participated in eleven races and emerged victorious in each one, solidifying her place as a champion in the world of yachting. The image showcases the Westward in her prime, with billowing sails catching the wind and propelling the schooner forward. The intricate details of the vessel's design are on full display, from the graceful curves of the hull to the meticulously crafted rigging. The motor launch in the foreground adds a sense of scale, highlighting the Westward's impressive size. At the helm of this magnificent vessel was Mr. Thomas Benjamin Davis, an avid yachtsman who would go on to own the Westward. The pride and excitement in his expression as he steers the schooner are palpable, adding to the sense of adventure and excitement that surrounds this iconic American racing yacht. The Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, known for its innovative designs and superior craftsmanship, built the Westward. The company's commitment to excellence is evident in every detail of this beautiful schooner, which continues to be celebrated as a iconic symbol of American yachting history.
