EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Thomas Lipton, the ambitious and determined businessman, stands confidently on the deck of his steam yacht, Erin, in this evocative photograph from the late 19th century. With the America's Cup, the oldest trophy in international sport, looming on the horizon, Lipton is fully focused on the upcoming sailing competition in New York City. The America's Cup, first contested in 1851, predates the modern Olympic Games by 45 years, making it a traditional and prestigious event in the world of yachting. Dressed in Victorian attire, Lipton exudes an air of smartness and determination as he prepares for the challenge of a lifetime. On board his sailing boat, Shamrock II, Lipton aimed to dethrone the defending champions and bring the coveted trophy back to Europe. However, despite his best efforts and unwavering determination, Lipton was unsuccessful in his quest. The photograph captures a moment of anticipation and resolve, as Lipton and his crew set sail with the hope of making history and etching their names into the annals of yachting lore.
