from Yachts and yachting by Cozzens, Frederic Schiller

English yachtsmen have made another effort for the recovery of the America's Cup, a trophy that has come to be regarded as the emblem of the supremacy of the seas, and that effort has met with a defeat more disastrous and humiliating than that which attended the unsuccessful attempt of the Genesta last year.

AMERICA KEEPS THAT CUP.
THE GLORIOUS YANKEE DISTANCE THE BRITON FOR THE LAST TIME.

The Sun : Published: September 12, 1886
The international yacht contest between the Yankee sloop Mayflower and the cutter Galatea, the British idea of a racing yacht, is over and the Yankee model won, as it has always won since there were any Yankees to make models.

LORD DUNRAVEN left Valkyrie II at New York for the winter of 1893-94 but did not race her in American waters the next season, as he had intended doing. His eyes were still turned toward the Cup, and in the autumn of 1894 he opened correspondence looking to another challenge.

On April 22, Captain Turner and twenty-three members of the crew of the yacht Shamrock IV. will sail for New York on board the steamer Lapland.
On June 2, SHAMROCK has had her first trial spin. She had two and a half hours of it in very light to fair breezes on the Sound. Designer and skipper are well pleased with impressive speed of the Yacht.

William Burton had sailed in more than 1000 boats in British waters. For twenty five years, yachting has been his favorite sport, but instead of making a play of yachting he has made it a study just as much as he has his business. He is one of those men who never stay at anything. Everything that he undertakes he enters into with heart and soul. For that reason he is also master of a pack of hounds and during the season is an ardent huntsman.

Born in 1935, John Sutton is a marine and landscape painter.
John Sutton studied at the Norwich School of Art. He obtained a National Diploma in design and painting followed by Postgraduate study at the Brighton College of Art and Craft.

Although little is known about this artist who adeptly worked in both watercolors and oils, records show that he sailed to the far east in the 1860's. (Traditionally, the majority of sea painters lacked any gallery representation, preferring instead to work directly from commissions by the vessel owners themselves).
