Nathanael Herreshoff Signature
Item Details
Description
Framed signature of yachtsman Nathaniel G. Herreshoff along with his photograph as well as photo of Reliance. N.G. Herreshoff's original signature as he barely ever signed his name. In fact he was so secretive that he "booby-trapped" the doors of his shops to stop intruders after hours. He went so far as to break reporters' cameras and tear up their reports. Not a common item.
