Remembering Warwick Charlton, Builder of Mayflower II

"Mr. Charlton had no money of his own but raised what would today be the equivalent of several million dollars," the New York Times observed in 2002. "He fought on despite angry creditors, striking shipyard workers, jealous keepers of the Pilgrims' torch in Massachusetts and ingrates who suggested his motives were less than pure-meaning commercial. He loved the whole glorious mess."
