 Palmer Johnson's Anson Bell
In a stroke of luck, her masts were stretched toward the land, so many of the crew—but, sadly, not her captain—were able to follow them to safety.
Due to the loss of the Anson, as well as the frustration of the townspeople, many changes were made in ship construction, crew safety, and rescue techniques.
In fact, he was so inspired by the advances in safe shipbuilding and the bell itself that he assembled a team to execute a carefully spelled-out mission: design and construct the safest motoryacht ever built, and one built on American soil that would rival the work of the top European yards.
