While the two Shamrocks were busy with each other in England things were happening fast in this country. The Reliance had been launched April 12th, and even in her sail stretching spins showed evidence of great speed, particularly in smooth water and light airs.

LORD DUNRAVEN left Valkyrie II at New York for the winter of 1893-94 but did not race her in American waters the next season, as he had intended doing. His eyes were still turned toward the Cup, and in the autumn of 1894 he opened correspondence looking to another challenge.

Astor and commodore Vanderbilt) for the benefit of the paper and himself. Perhaps not in that order.

I live in a small village in Holland in the neighborhood of Rotterdam. I was already fascinated by everything about sailing. As the son of a tugboat captain I spend from my 5th year all my spare time on the water. I endlessly made drawings of boats on newspapers and pieces of paper. The foundation for all my marine art is ever based on those early experiences.

Naval architect, philosopher and marine painter Archibald Cary Smith acquired his taste for the water at an early age. He grew up in New York, with the eastern shore of the Hudson river for a playground. Close by his home was the shipyard of the great William Webb and across the river in Hoboken was moored the fleet of the fledgling New York Yacht Club.
