On The 1999-2000 America’S Cup October 18, 1999
John Chafee, R-RI
"During these years, a great many Rhode Islanders stood out and earned outstanding reputations in this sport. Most notably, Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, “The Wizard of Bristol,” joined his visually impaired brother in the manufacture of boats and went on to design six successful America’s Cup defenders—Vigilant (in 1893), Defender (1895), Columbia (1899 and 1901), Reliance (1903) and Resolute (1920). In addition, the celebrated sailmaker and designer Ted Hood had more to do with the development of the America’s Cup from the 1950’s to the 1970’s than any other person. Hood also won the Cup, helming Courageous in 1974."
