Why 1736?

George Lawley & Son was a shipbuilding firm operating in Massachusetts from 1866 to 1945. Of the hundreds of ships built by the Lawleys, highlights include the yachts Puritan and Mayflower, respective winners of the 1885 and 1886 America's Cup.

The South Bay Yacht Club is home to Boat Number 1736 (see plaque image below) built by Geo. Lawley & Son Corp'n in Neponset, Massachusetts (just south of Boston).
