Dr. James Wallace of Cambridge and Cohasset acquired this boat in 1967. He removed the thwart and renamed her from Porpoise to Wizard of Bristol. Wizard is on the transom. She is in good shape, with some sistered ribs. It has replacement spars, but otherwise the boat is original. He bought it in 1967 for $100 from Dr. Breman of Cohasset, who had bought from the original owner, Hallowell. Dr. Wallace donated the boat to the Herreshoff Marine Museum in 2005. She has not sailed since 2003.
