Renamed Ticonderoga in 1946, she went on to set more elapsed-time records than any ocean racer in history. Ticonderoga held more than thirty course records in races on several oceans, surpassing even the best performances of the hard-driven nineteenth-century clipper ships. But Ticonderoga wasn't designed for racing. Her creator, L. Francis Herreshoff, shaped her for genteel \"afternoon sailing,\" giving her uncommon elegance of form with a clipper bow, elliptical transom, raked rig, gilded garnish, and a bathtub. It is these qualities of unsurpassed opulence and beauty, combined with her astonishing speed, that have made Big Ti so incomparable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mystic Seaport Museum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969809793175,"sku":"9780393046137","price":4720.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780393046137.webp?v=1782924356","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ticonderoga-tales-of-an-enchanted-yacht-9780393046137","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
