Built for Morton F Plant, heir to his father's railroad fortune, 'Nellie' was one of a trio of yachts of the same design built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company between 1902 and 1903. The first of the 35-foot class was 'Trivia', commissioned by Harold Vanderbilt, and the other was 'Azor', built for J Malcolm Forbes of Boston and Naushon Island (as distinct from todays Malcolm Forbes magazine fame). 'Trivia' was lost in the 1938 hurricane but 'Azor' is in the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol, Rhode Island. 'Nellie' was restored in New England, USA. |
