Sargent<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><strong><em>Chasing Winthrop<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Perhaps you\u2019re frustrated by the lack of 15-bedroom single-family oceanfront homes for sale as the buying season opens. Maybe you\u2019re just as frustrated when you ponder, \u201cHow lucky do I have to be to own a place like this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Dapper New York lawyer Winthrop W. Aldrich (1895-1974) was, like John Adams and Joseph P. Kennedy before him, the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. He was also a world-leading financier, serving for decades as president and chairman of the board of Chase National Bank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">He liked to sail whenever he could. Years after fighting during World War I as a Navy lieutenant, he was the principal owner of the legendary J Sloop Enterprise and served as her navigator when she thrashed Shamrock V in four straight races during the 1930 America\u2019s Cup.
