From the rocky shores of • Newport to the misty harbors of • Nantucket and Mystic Seaport, the East Coast has always been the soul of American ambition. Here, fleets set sail into the unknown, fishermen pulled sustenance from unforgiving seas, and patriots forged a nation out of salt, sweat, and an unbreakable will. Yankee Salt Sailor™ was born from this legacy — a tribute to the mariners, the townsfolk, the lighthouse keepers, and the everyday Americans who built something extraordinary along these windswept shores. • Newport, RI— Gilded Age sailing capital of America • Nantucket, MA— Once the whaling center of the world • Mystic Seaport, CT— Living museum of 19th-century maritime life
