Come back of George Lennox WatsonFor this second boat, which was named Shamrock II, Lipton went to George Lennox Watson for the design. Watson was probably the foremost designer in England at that time, if that adjective can be applied to any one man in a profession. His cutter Britannia was one of the most wonderful racing yachts ever turned out.

Gallery "Sir Thomas Lipton"Sir Thomas Lipton bequeathed his collection of photographs, newspaper cuttings and memorabilia to the Mitchell Library where it is still housed. In 1999, the collection was showing signs of degradation and conservation was required. Unilever, who now own the Lipton brand, were approached and funded the conservation and digitisation costs.
