Black or white only
“There are only two colors to paint a boat, black or white, and only a fool would paint a boat black.’’
— Nathanael G. Herreshoff (1848-1938), famed naval architect. He was born and died in Bristol, R.I. He died on June 2, 1938, thereby missing the great hurricane that wrecked the Herreshoff boatyard in Bristol on Sept. 21 of that year.
