Supplement
From the 1930s L. Francis Herreshoff Index Cards at the Herreshoff Marine Museum
- Note: The L. Francis Herreshoff index cards comprise a set of some 1200 cards about vessels built by HMCo, with dimensions and / or ownership information. Apparently compiled in the early 1930s, for later HMCo-built boats like the Fishers Island 23s or the Northeast Harbor 30s are not included. Added to in later decades, apparently by L. F. Herreshoff as well as his long-time secretary Muriel Vaughn and others. Also 46 cards of L. F. Herreshoff-designed vessels. The original set of index cards is held by the Herreshoff Marine Museum and permission to display is gratefully acknowledged.
Research Note(s)
"It is possible that HMCo also delivered vessel plans for Satan as is indicated by the 1891 Manning's Yacht List. No information about this vessel nor its engine exists in Herreshoff records. The 1891 Manning's Yacht List described her steam engine as Herreshoff-built with 10" stroke, double expansion and 2 cylinders of 5" & 9" bore. The HMCo Construction Record appears to not list a single Herreshoff-built vessel with this type of engine, but it is believed that #52p Javelin was fitted with such an engine (see note in Javelin entry). Moreover, a period photo (Maynard Bray collection) of a steam engine and stamped 'Herreshoff M'f'g Co. Bristol, R.I. Builders of Steam Vessels, & Steam Machinery' was annotated by N. G. Herreshoff in March 1931 with 'An early compound engine 5in. & 9in. x 10in. in about 1880.' It appears that this photo shows the steam engine for Javelin or the one that Manning's Yacht List reported as having been fitted to Satan." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. June 5, 2018.)
"In the absence of better available data displacement was estimated by using the figure for Gross Register Tons (11.27) from the 1890-91 Manning's American Yacht List (Net Register Tons were reported as 8.4) and converting to lbs by dividing through 2000 (short tons). Note that this figure can only be a rough estimate because register tons as reported in Yacht Registers correlate only loosely with actual displacement figures." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. March 17, 2015.)
Note: Research notes contain information about a vessel that is often random and unedited but has been deemed useful for future research.
