Lecture: Story of the DRAGON

The Herreshoff Marine Museum’s Annual Lecture Series presents Doug Park and his talk, “Redd’s Pond Boatworks: Story of the Dragon.”

DRAGON, a near replica of the 1882 Herreshoff steam launch #94 recently donated to Herreshoff Marine Museum, was built in 2017 by Doug Park of Redd's Pond Boatworks in Marblehead, Massachusetts. DRAGON was featured in an article by Stan Grayson in WoodenBoat issue 261. Come for Doug’s talk on the history of this unique vessel’s design and stay for the tale of how an original engine survived over a century to find its way back to sea again.
