Model discussion:
"No 932. Gamecock. Design made at Coconut Grove [Florida] in Feb & March of 1925. for Com. Geo. Nichols and Junius Morgan, for the R class. Original model in C[oconut]-G[rove] and a copy made in June '25 after getting home. ..." (Source: Herreshoff, Nathanael G. [Design Notes for #932s Gamecock.] No date, no place.)

Comment:
"A letter from George Nichols to NGH, dated October 21, 1926, in the Halsey C. Herreshoff Collection at the Herreshoff Marine Museum (subject folder 26) indicates that NGH had given the original model of Game Cock to Nichols and that it probably would have been destroyed in NGH's cottage at Coconut Grove in Florida in the hurricane of 1926, had it stayed there."
