The Racing Cutter Neva

| The 65' Hereshoff inspired racing cutter Neva under construction at the original Lyman Boat Works in Cleveland, Ohio in 1896. Notice the livery boats in the foreground - also Lyman built. |

| The Neva ready for launching in 1896. It appears that they were ready to slide her forward until the planks rocked down to meet Lake Erie. Wish I could have seen that! Remember - she was 65'! |
