Shamrock II at the Finish, Oct. 3, 1901: A Historic Moment in Yachting History This photograph captures the thrilling moment when Shamrock II crossed the finish line during the America's Cup race on October 3, 1901. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the enduring allure of sailing. The Shamrock II, a sleek and powerful yacht, is seen leaning dramatically to starboard as it cuts through the choppy waters. The wind, evident by the billowing sails and white-capped waves, played a crucial role in this high-stakes competition. The crew, led by Captain George Lennox Watson, had skillfully navigated the vessel through the challenging conditions to secure their victory. This photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, is a glass negative or dry plate negative, showcasing the intricacies and nuances of early 20th century photography. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical maritime art or nautical memorabilia. The America's Cup, the world's oldest international sailing competition, began in 1851 and has since attracted the best sailors and yachts from around the globe. Shamrock II's victory in 1901 marked the fourth time the trophy had been won by an American team. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of yachting in the United States and the enduring allure of the America's Cup.
