Document No 4965: America racing Maria, New York, 1851 | |||||||||||||||
REF : 0 EDITION : 1851 DATE : 14 May 1851 COURSE : 0 DESCRIPTION SITE : In her original grey livery, the newly launched schooner America is seen racing the loop Maria off the famous Battery Headland, New York. Maria, owned by John C. Stevens, has left her New York Yacht Club anchorage to defend her title as the fastest yacht in America. In the sheltered harbour course, she did so, but America showed the brilliance of George Steers' design. America went on to make history in her transatlantic crossing and race with the British Royal Yacht Squadron on August 31, 1851. LICENCE : Autorisation de l'auteur acceptée le 28/03/2019 |
