Catherine A. Scott
4.9/5 (9075 ratings)
Description:A resort community once known as a “playground for the wealthy,” City Island rose to fame as a leader in boat manufacturing and gained international recognition for the victorious yachts it produced for the America’s Cup races. Well-known shipyards on the island, including Nevins, Minneford, and Kretzers, weathered society’s changing demands to cater to a new clientele of boat owners who required smaller vessels with low maintenance features.

This visual journey to the early days of the island focuses on the community’s sense of purpose and its adaptability to the changes brought on by time and technology.
