This print captures a thrilling moment in sailing history. The image showcases the majestic sailing yachts White Heather and Shamrock as they race downwind with great speed and grace. It is an iconic scene from the 1910s, during the America's Cup competition.

The yacht represents Lipton's determination to bring this coveted trophy back to England. With its impressive gaff rig and sleek design, Shamrock embodies both elegance and power on the water. The photograph beautifully portrays these magnificent vessels cutting through the waves off Cowes, Isle of Wight. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of sporting excellence.
