SUMMARY:Temple to the Wind: The Story of America's Greatest Naval Architect and His Masterpiece\, Reliance
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illustrated talk by author Christopher Pastore\, who will share the story of Reliance drawing from Nathanael G. Herreshoff’s sketches\, photos\, original models and plans\, as well as Herreshoff’s personal papers and letters.\nWHEN: Sunday\, July 13\, 2025\nTIME: 4 p.m.\nPLACE: In person at the Museum\, second floor and virtual\, via zoom\nBook signing and reception to follow. \nJoin Zoom WebinarDesigned and built in 1903\, Reliance was a yacht like no other. A marvel of her time\, Reliance’s topsail yard towered nearly 190 feet above the water\, with sails stretching 202 feet from the bowsprit to the boom’s end. Many said Reliance\, carrying more sail than any single-masted boat before\, was simply too dangerous to sail\, but the stakes were awesome. By the turn of the century racing for the America’s Cup had become more than a gentleman’s game. In 1903 it was an all-or-nothing contest—fraught with political tension—between two great rivals\, Britain and America. Anticipating the acrimonious battles over the America’s Cup today\, the story of Reliance explores the ways big yachts and even bigger personalities have defined the contest since its inception. \nPHOTO CREDIT: Reliance Crossing Finish Line\, photo work of Detroit Publishing Co.\, collection at the Library of Congress\, Public domain\, via Wikimedia Commons. \nAbout the author \nChristopher Pastore is Associate Professor of History at the University at Albany\, State University of New York\, where he teaches courses in environmental history\, early America\, and the Atlantic world.
