If Normal Rockwell had composed an illustration depicting an American company, Jacksonville’s Huckins Yacht Corporation could have been the subject. It would have been one of those salty dog flavored illustrations, full of humor, and the sea, with invention, pain and irony, with struggles and success, anger and elation…and family. It could have had a tomboy in it, and of course, working men and women. It might have depicted the war effort, and it would have had a bottle of scotch thrown in just to make sure that everyone understood that it all really happened, and that most of it didn’t happen in Sunday school. (Not that Norman thought there was anything wrong with Sunday school).
If you live in Jacksonville, Florida, Huckins Yacht is a reason to be proud, and if you were ever crazy enought to want a yacht, a Huckins yacht is the only one you will want.....
