DESCRIPTION SITE :
Oil on panel
depicting the 1899 America's Cup race off Sandy Hook, New Jersey with J.
Pierpont Morgan's "Columbia" chasing Sir Thomas Lipton's "Shamrock I."
Pierpont's Yacht is in the background. The painting is remarkably detailed and
signed "J. Clark" in red in the lower right corner. The painting may be a copy
of the Eduardo de Martino original that hangs in the New York Yacht Club. NOTES AMERICA-SCOOP :
THE AMERICA'S CUP WILL REMAIN HERE; Columbia Makes it Three Straight from
Shamrock. WON BY OVER SIX MINUTES
NEWPORT, R.I., Oct.
20. -- The cup is safe, and Columbia is the gem of the ocean. The yachting
supremacy of the United States is just where it was before the formidable
Shamrock was turned out of the brain of Will Fife of Fairlie, and there is a
place for another challenger as soon as one can be found who will undertake the
task of “lifting” the cup.... LICENCE : Autorisation en cours |
