Yankee 1

 

With Andrew and Chester Britt
  Yankee, the very first of her class, was built in 1937 at the Britt Brothers Yard in Massachusetts. The photo on the left is from a 1937 newspaper article. The entire clipping will take about a minute to download at 28.8kbps, or you can read the text in a user friendly version.

The photos on this page are courtesy of Andy Britt and the Mystic Museum. Andy, whose father is pictured above, on the left, reports that he has located the original Britt built hull as having been sold recently out of a yard in Maine. We are trying to track down the owner.
