Gallery "Sir Thomas Lipton"The Shamrock IV was the first of the yachts designed and built for Lipton by Charles E. Nicholson. It was an unconventional looking vessel and was nicknamed the "ugly duckling".
The Yachting World's description:
"Her greatest beam is forward of the mast which gives her a very exagerated "cod head" and the extreme bluffness detracts from her looks...
...The square box stern is another violation of the modern canons of yacht designing. The greatest overhang is forward and the amidship section shows she is very square on the bilge and flat on the floor. The lead keel is flat at the bottom."
