"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."

The America's cup will not go across the ocean this year, for the Mayflower won the second of the international races yesterday. The victory of the American boat was so great and so complete that the race was uninteresting.
The second boat built for the defense of the America's Cup in 1914 was for Alexander Smith Cochran, formerly the owner of the schooner Westward, which raced so successfully in English waters in 1910.
This boat has been designed by William Gardner, a New York naval architect with long experience both in the designing and construction of racing yachts.
Capt. Barr was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but removed with his parents at an early age to Gourock on the Clyde. Here the famous skipper sailed his first race and began his career as a yachtsman, which resulted in the first 12 years of racing in an average of 10 winnings a year, all in small boats.
Capt. Barr during his career had charge of the Neptune, a Fife boat, in which he won 35 prizes out of 50 starts, all sailed in Scotch and Irish waters.
Christophe Gastaldi né à Hyères en 1969 a depuis son enfance consacré son temps à la pratique de la peinture. Les bateaux, la mer et le littoral varois sont ses lieux de prédilection. Sa technique est centrée sur la lumière, les couleurs et surtout le mouvement qui caractérise si bien ses œuvres.
Nicholas Matthews Condy, or Nicholas Condy the Younger (1816 – 20 May 1851) was a British maritime painter. He was born in Union Street, Plymouth in 1816 to Nicholas Condy (1793–1857) and Ann Trevanion Condy (née Pyle; 1792–1860). His father was a painter of landscapes, and they are often confused for each other.
