Designed by Fife of Fairlie, Scotland, and built by Nevins of City Island, New York -- yacht design and build pedigree doesn’t get much better. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/780/FIFI When Larchmont Yacht Club member Harry L. Maxwell decided to join the burgeoning mid-1920s Long Island Sound Universal Rule R-Class fleet, his Ulster-Scots ancestry took him to William Fife III for the design of FIFI and he had her built relatively locally by the perfectionist, Henry B. Nevins. During seven summers of hard class racing, and many more as a performance cruiser-racer that’s a lot of fun to sail, FIFI’s pedigree stood her in good stead. The inevitable later life deep restoration in current ownership means that FIFI enters her second century as strong if not stronger than her first, and as beautiful as ever.

He didn't need to fire his cannons. The sight of his ship alone — black sails, burning ropes in his beard, skull flag snapping in the wind — was enough to make entire crews surrender immediately. His name was Edward Teach. The world knew him as Blackbeard. Here are the facts history never told you: — He braided slow-burning fuses into his beard and lit them before battle — smoke curling around his face like a demon rising from hell. — Ships would see his flag and surrender without a single shot being fired. — In his final battle on November 22, 1718 — he was shot 5 times and stabbed over 20 times. He kept fighting through all of it. — It took an entire naval crew to finally bring him down. One man. Against everyone. The most feared pirate in all of human history. This is his story. 🏴‍☠️ —————————————————— 🔔 Subscribe for more untold stories of the sea every week. 📌 Watch More Legendary Stories: —————————————————— #Blackbeard #PirateHistory #EdwardTeach #UntoldHistory #TrueStory #Pirates #CaribbeanPirates #HistoryDocumentary #LegendaryPirate #GoldenAgePirates #HistoryFacts #MindBlowing #Shocking #DocumentaryShorts #YouTubeShorts #Shorts #ViralHistory #NeverSurrender #OceanHistory #PirateLegend
