History of tine Famous Builders and De-
slgners of Defender.

History Of the Famous Builders and De-
signcrs of Defender.
Three of the members of the firm
which designed and built Defender
are abroad. The firm Herreshoff
Bros. is composed Of Nathaniel and
John B. Herreshoff and five other
brothers. Nathaniel, or "Captain
Nat" as he is familiarly called, is the
most widely known of the brothers.
John B. and two of the others are
blind.
Captain Nat was born at Bristol,
r. l., IN 1913. After receiving a
common school education he went to
the Institute Of Technology, from
which he was graduated with unusual
honors. At this institute he display
ed marked talent for mathematics and
genius for marine architecture. When
only twelve years of age he sailed the
Sprite, little Bristol yacht, to vic
tory in a race.
Upon leaving the institute he went
to work in the Corliss engine work Of
Providence. Duling the latter part
of his time there he acted as designer
for his brothers. In 1877 he went
back to Bristol, and since then he has
designed and superintendent the con-
struction Of all the vessels which
iierreshoff Bros. have built.
Among these were the famous cat
amaran Tarantula, the torpedo boat
Gushing, The sloors Wasp aud Glori-
ana, the 90-footers Colonia and Wig
liant, Howard Gould's Niagara and
Defender.
The blind brother, John B. Herre-
shoff, is the head of the firm. He
does his work through the agency of
others, but is invaluable in making
suggestions and in the work of de
signing.

than the fisherman of Buzzard's bay,
