Just
one of the
exhibits at
the MIT Museum
in Cambridge:
Lighter,
Stronger,
Faster: The
Herreshoff
Legacy
Through May 1,
2021
Lighter, Stronger, Faster celebrates
the spirit of
innovation by
examining the
unparalleled
impact on
marine design
and
engineering by
Nathanael
Greene
Herreshoff and
the Herreshoff
Manufacturing
Company.
One of the
MIT’s earliest
students, N.
G. Herreshoff
(MIT Class of
1870) set new
standards in
design and
manufacturing,
realizing
remarkable
influence and
success over a
75-year
career. His
legendary
design genius,
engineering
innovations
and manufacturing
efficiency led
to the
production of
six America’s
Cup winners
and hundreds
of other
highly
regarded
vessels, the
introduction
of modern
catamarans,
the first
torpedo boats
for the U.S.
Navy, and the
first
steam-powered
fishing
vessels in the
U.S.
MIT has been
producing
global leaders
in marine
technology for
more than four
generations,
making the MIT
Museum the
ideal venue to
tell the story
of this
transformative,
integrated
thinker.
Through
gallery
installations
and
interactive
digital media
drawn from our
renowned Hart Nautical Collection Herreshoff’s overall
contributions
to nautical
design and
craftsmanship
will come to
life in the
exhibition and
in the online
archive of
Herreshoff
designs.
This
exhibition
received the Merit Award 2019 from
the Society
for
Experiential
Graphic Design
(SEGD).
