Shamrock
V, 1935, Racing in the Solent |
Sir
Thomas Lipton, a man respected in both England and America for his great
sportsmanship, built the Shamrock V in an attempt to win the America’s
cup. This was the fifth vessel that he built for this endeavor. These
vessels, all named Shamrock, were always painted a fine dark green.
The
year is 1935, and many J-boats had adopted the triangular Marconi mainsails.
Here, the Shamrock V and other J-boats are racing in the Solent. After
the thirties, the J-boats no longer engaged in friendly rivalry, as
the impending war intervened.
In
the background, the brand new Normandie, of the French line, has anchored
to load passengers. Sharing this background, the HMS Burham, a British
battleship, serves as the committee ship. In the distance, the Cunard
line ships Scythia and Aquitania move towards the horizon as they commence
fresh voyages.
