Research Note(s)
"Frame space 6"; Molds 14/12 of new figures, in book for #718 [Alerion III]; 10' 6" O.A., 6.15" Frame spaces, Mahogany finish, as per notes on plan 28-46. This note suggests that this power tender was built on the molds of the dinghy for Alerion #718s." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)
"Note that the Herreshoff Catalogue Raisonné currently lists three small boats for #1074s Sheerness, while the Specifications for Sheerness (held at the Herreshoff Marine Museum) list only two small boats." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. September 9, 2018.)
"This vessel's building date was determined from notes on the original plan. Plan 28-46 (formerly 76-122) from which this boat was built was drawn 1915-12-06. #1074s Sheerness (for which this vessel was built) was contracted for 1928. This boat's contract or building date is about 3 months before #1074s Sheerness was contracted for." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)
