BANKNEWPORT ANNOUNCES PURCHASE OF JUSTBOATLOANS NEWPORT, RI (May 1, 2019) – BankNewport announced today that it has purchased the assets of JustBoatLoans (JBL) by Vertisol, Inc., a marine service company specializing in consumer marine and recreational vehicle financing programs. JBL will operate under the Marine and Recreational Lending Division of BankNewport. Headquartered in Severna Park, Maryland, JBL provides tailored finance programs for new and used boat purchases and refinancing options for existing boat loans, in addition to a variety of lending options for recreational vehicles. The transition of JBL from a privately owned boat loan origination company to BankNewport expands the resources, products, and services available to JBL clients, including marine-related insurance products and banking products. “The JBL acquisition presents a strategic expansion opportunity for BankNewport,” stated BankNewport Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Leland R. Merrill. “We’re excited to deliver an even stronger marine and recreational financing experience for our Bank and JBL customers, maximizing our leadership position in this key sector of the boating industry.” In addition to its own lending capabilities, BankNewport works with a variety of national marine and recreational lending institutions, enhancing their capacity to offer competitive rates, flexible terms, and specialized attention throughout the boat financing process. BankNewport will retain JBL’s long-standing presence in Severna Park, Maryland, along with offices in the Eastern Shore of Maryland and in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The former owner of JBL, Larry Reagan, has joined BankNewport as Senior Vice President, Director of Marine and Recreational Lending. With over 30 years of extensive experience in the marine and recreational lending arenas, Reagan previously served as a principal in National Horizon, Inc. and as a senior executive with such marine lending firms as Yegen Marine, First New England Financial, and the Chase Manhattan Leasing Company.

2019 Newport Architectural Symposium: The Architecture & History of Newportâ€™s Point Neighborhood

Newport is a treasure trove of important architecture from the time of the earliest European settlement of North America to the present day. Particularly through the end of the nineteenth century it is where some of the most ground breaking architecture was being done by the most important architects of the time. This vast and irreplaceable portfolio is managed not just by the city or by a single institution, but by a large and varied group of organizations, individuals and companies. Together this heritage is both what Newport is best known for worldwide and also a prime attraction that draws visitors as an essential economic driver for the community. On May 25, 2019 various organizations within the Newport community are coming together to celebrate this vast and rich architectural heritage of The Point neighborhood of Newport, Rhode Island. This one day symposium will include lectures by scholars, lunch and visits to some of these important buildings which play such a central place in the evolution of architecture in America from Colonial Era to the present day.

(This symposium has been approved for 6 AIA CEU credits) Lecture Schedule: 08:30 am: Collect in Chapel of Harbor House (111 Washington Street) 09:00 am: The Architecture and History of Newportâ€™s Easton Point (Ross Cann) 10:00 am: Hunter House and the Formation of the PSNC (Trudy Coxe) 11:00 am
