Sandwiched In with Alan Dinn - The Purdy Boat Company
If you had been sailing on Manhasset Bay 50 or so years ago, you would have spotted several large buildings on the shoreline which were the home of the Purdy Boat Company. The Purdy boat yard was one of the best-known employers in Port Washington during the second quarter of the 20th Century. It was the birthplace of the famous cruiser APHRODITE as well as several other cruisers, a series of champion caliber race boats, and more than 80 small craft for the U.S. Navy in World War II. The company came to Port Washington in 1925, but the Purdys had been in the boatbuilding trade for several decades before that. Alan Dinn, a native of Port Washington and a grandson of company founder Ned Purdy, presents a brief history of the firm, beginning years before they came to Manhasset Bay but focusing on the famous boats they built here. Alan has written two books and several magazine articles about the company. (Sponsored by the Library's Nautical Advisory Council)
