Title

Nicholson Yacht Charters, Inc.

Description

In 1949, Harry S Truman was beginning his second term in the White House, "South Pacific" was a success on Broadway, and in the Caribbean Sea, the 70' schooner MOLLIHAWK sailed quietly into English Harbor on the island of Antigua.

Commander Vernon Nicholson, O.B.E., Royal Navy, and his family found the old naval dockyard deserted. Cobwebs shifted in the ocean breezes, and the stillness of days gone by was broken only by the sound of shutters banging at the windows of the aged, roofless buildings.

In those days, only a single plane made weekly stops in Antigua, and it wasn't long before members of the newly established Mill Reef Club were asking to charter the MOLLIHAWK for trips to neighboring islands. Word spread about the hospitality of the Nicholsons and the pleasures of cruising on the MOLLIHAWK. And so, in the blue waters of the Caribbean, Nicholson Yacht Charters was born.
