Boston Burgess Champion Cutter Mass Modelled Puritan Races Sept Winner Yacht 14th Genesta
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the American Champion Yacht Puritan, designed by the renowned Boston-based naval architect Edward Burgess, who masterfully led the vessel to victory in the Two Races for the America's Cup against the English Cutter Genesta in New York on September 14th and 15th, 1885. The America's Cup, the world's oldest international sailing competition, had long been dominated by British yachts. Burgess' innovative design and the skillful sailing of the Puritan's crew, including Captain John M. Hacker, challenged and ultimately defeated the Genesta, marking a significant moment in American maritime history. The sleek, powerful lines of the Puritan are evident in this image, with its tall, slender mast and elegant sails billowing in the wind. The yacht's hull, constructed from oak and mahogany, cuts through the water with grace and speed. The triumph of the Puritan not only brought pride to the United States but also solidified Edward Burgess' reputation as a leading figure in the world of yacht design. This photograph is a testament to the beauty, power, and history of this iconic American champion.
