AMERICA'S CUP "If we can fly today in the San Francisco Bay, this is because there have been "adventurers" like Walter Greene and Mike Birch.
To understand the future, we must know and respect the past."

After the long and apparently endless correspondence, it is a pleasant task to chronicle the details of the first of the series of matches for possession of the America Cup.
The Atlantic is a wooden sloop built in the Mumm yard in Brooklyn for a syndicate of members of the Atlantic Yacht Club. She was launched on May 1, 1886.

Fifteenth victorious defender of the America's Cup Rainbow was built in 1934 and commissioned by Harold Vanderbilt at the Nat Herreshoff yard in Bristol (New England). The yacht was designed by William Starling Burgess. Vanderbilt named her Rainbow, hoping for a better future in times of great depression.
