Frederick H. Prince

Frederick Henry Prince (November 30, 1860 – February 2, 1953) was an American stockbroker, investment banker and financier.

A Republican Party member and delegate to the 1928 convention, Prince aided President Franklin D. Roosevelt efforts to pull America out of the Great Depression of the 1930s.

The Weetamoe competed for a berth in the America's Cup, losing in the 1934 trials to the ultimate winner Harold Stirling Vanderbilt and his yacht, Rainbow.
