Royal Plymouth Corinthian Yacht Club - PLYMOUTH
By 1925, Henry Ford was exceptionally rich and planned a museum similar to London’s Science Museum, but bigger, in his home town of Dearborn, Michigan. The
museum was to celebrate great American inventors. Ford also wished to tell the story of steam and the Industrial
