The Golden Era

The Golden Era Collection explores the remarkable partnership between yacht designer Nat Herreshoff and Captain Charlie Barr. .

The collection featured in Built to Win, a live lecture I presented with Charlie Barr’s descendant, Alasdair Purves, during the summer of 2026. Presentations took place at Thomsen Fine Art in Sarasota, the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol, Rhode Island, and the Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, Massachusetts.
