The history of this fast, famous, and beautiful
L. Francis Herreshoff masterpiece as told by the series of her colorful owners. Ticonderoga (launched as Tioga) set more elapsed-time records than any other ocean racer in history, while providing all of the creature comforts below decks. Over 150 color and black & white photographs.
The schooner America gave only a trophy to the world; the ketch Ticonderoga, which has inspired many imitations, continues to give the world those elusive ideals: radiant grace and uncompromised speed, along with the sheer joy of sailing.
