EDITORS COMMENTS
Mayflower, 1886: A Historic Moment in American Sailing History This photograph captures the victorious Mayflower, designed by Edward Burgess and built entirely of wood by George Lawley & Son, following its triumphant defense of the sixth America's Cup against the Scottish challenger Galatea in 1886. Owned by General Charles J. Paine, the Mayflower was launched in that very year and represented the pinnacle of American sailing prowess during the 19th century. The image, taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, showcases the Mayflower docked in a bustling shipyard, surrounded by other boats and ships. The graving and dry docks in the background are evidence of the industrial activity that fueled the shipping industry during this era. The men in the photograph, dressed in their sailing attire, embody the spirit of competition and leisure that sailing represented during this time. The Mayflower, a sloop with a sleek hull and elegant lines, was a sight to behold on the water. Its victory in the America's Cup was a source of national pride and a testament to the ingenuity and skill of American boat builders and sailors. This photograph, with its rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the pastime of sailing during the 19th century and the role it played in shaping the country's maritime heritage.
