Shamrock and Shamrock II, beautiful challengers for
the America's Cup
sailing together in 1901. Both ultimately defeated by Columbia.
If you have a special interest in the history of the search for
speed under sail, you might like to check a picture of a half-hull model
of an unidentified 19th century fast sailing ship.
This is thought to represent a Westcountry schooner or yacht.
