Newport Attractions
Museum of Yachting
Proud of its heritage as a sailing Mecca, Newport is equally
proud of its museum dedicated to the sport, which has been
acclaimed as one of the top sailor's museums in the nation. The
Museum boasts a variety of artefacts and exhibits such as a vast
collection of classic power and sail yachts, a gallery devoted to
chronicling the America's Cup competition held in Newport between
1851 and 2000; a single-handed sailor's hall of fame; and a glimpse
into the sailing lifestyle of the Bellevue Avenue Mansions 'gilded
age' brigade.
