Museum Quality History of the Ticonderoga:

Many consider Ticonderoga, launched as “Tioga” in 1936, as the crowning design achievement of L. Francis Herreshoff. Renamed "Ticonderoga" in 1946, this ketch went on to set more elapsed-time records than any other ocean racer in history. Francis Herreshoff designed the 72-foot ketch Ticonderoga to be a fast day boat for Harry Noyes and his family. Big Ti, as she was known, impressed everyone with her speed on all points of sail. Racing her soon took center stage. Since she was launched in 1936 as Tioga II, she was recorded more ocean-racing victories, especially first-overall honors, than any yacht in history. She has been refitted as a luxurious cruising boat, but her current owner frequently races. Along with Endeavour and Shamrock V, Ticonderoga is one of the most famous racing yachts still sailing today.
