The schooner was designed by George Steers and built in William Brown’s shipyard in 1851. It is still the most important and famous name in the history of the world of yachting.
The Yacht America, under Dick Brown’s command(pictured below – pilot from New York) set out for England in June 1851 to compete for the Royal Yacht Squadron’s £100 Cup on 22 August – a 53-mile race around the Isle of Wight – against fifteen English schooners and cutters.
She won by 7.5 miles over the second-place finisher. America carried off an overwhelming victory over the English squadron. America had a long history and was pulled down in 1946. Only the carved eagle which it had on poop survives at the New York Yacht Club. The 100 guineas cup became Amercia’s Cup and still gives its name to the most important regatta in the world.
