This 45′ long range trawler was built by Bald Mountain Boat Works. Built by and for James S Rockefeller Jr. and designed by Navel Architect Geerd Hendel, her original name was “Kyloe” in 1970. Her current name is “Archimedas”, the discoverer of displacement theory. She has had extensive interior refurbishing. All new refrigerators (2), 3 burner stove/range, Garmin instrumentation, new lifelines, 2025 new fire suppression system, all brass stanchions and rub rail/trim polished. Recovered cushions and air conditioning.
Perhaps most interesting is that Liv Coucheron Torp, Thor Heyerdahl’s first wife (married 1936-1948), later married James S. Rockefeller Jr. on August 31, 1956, in Greenwich, Connecticut. Thor Heyerdahl was the expedition leader of the famous Kon-Tiki expedition in 1947. Thor set out to prove a controversial theory: that ancient peoples from South America could have settled Polynesia using simple rafts and ocean currents, challenging the widely accepted idea of west-to-east migration from Asia.
