William Starling Burgess (1878-1947), known as W. Starling or Starling Burgess, was a naval architect, airplane and automobile designer, and published poet and author. He was the son of Edward Burgess (1848-1891), the naval architect and designer of three America's Cup defenders, and brother of Charles Paine Burgess, also a yacht designer and engineer. W. Starling Burgess was a well-known designer of racing yachts, including the J class boats ENTERPRISE, RAINBOW, and RANGER. By 1901 he was self-employed in yacht design and brokerage. In 1902 he became a partner in the Boston-area firm of Burgess & Packard with A. A. (Alpheus Appleton) Packard, the first of numerous partnerships formed throughout his career. By 1914 he founded a firm to manufacture airplanes and hydroplanes. In 1921 he was with the firm of Burgess & Paine with Frank C. Paine. With the addition of A. Loring Swasey in 1923 the company became Burgess, Swasey & Paine. After moving to New York he formed the partnerships of Burgess & Morgan, Ltd., and Burgess, Rigg & Morgan, Ltd., with Jasper Morgan and Linton Rigg. He also had a partnership with yacht broker Boyd Donaldson in Burgess & Donaldson, Inc.
