YE OLDe CANNON MAKER.....
In the tradition of
naval design, third generation L. Francis Hereshoff built thirteen yachting
cannons. Ten of these accompanied the boats he designed and built, and three
were privately commissioned to be built for:
Harry E. Noyes, TIOGAS original owner
J. Bedford, Naval Architect
Bruce Blackman, Jeweler
In 1967 L. Francis Herreshoff authorized R. Berkeley
George of Madison. Ct. to continue building the cannons, and to date, George
has build over 600. These model ship cannons are carefully proportioned
copies of the ships cannons used by the navies of France, England, English
colonies, and the United States of American after its independence. Little
variation of these classic (1750 - 1865) cannons proportions has taken
place. Herreshoff's standards and guidelines are strictly adhered to. |
