EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the second and final race for the America's Cup between the yachts "The Puritan" and "Genesta" on September 16, 1885. The America's Cup, the world's oldest international sailing competition, had begun on August 22, 1885, with the defense by the New York Yacht Club of the trophy they had held since 1851. The challenger, the Royal Yacht Squadron of Cowes, England, was represented by the schooner "Genesta," helmed by Captain J.S. Denison. The defender, "The Puritan," was sailed by Captain John Coxon. In this thrilling moment on the homestretch, both yachts are in full sail, their sails billowing in the wind, their hulls cutting through the water with remarkable speed and agility. The crew members on board are focused intently on their tasks, their faces set with determination and concentration. The sea around them is calm, reflecting the clear blue sky above, creating a stunning contrast with the dark hulls of the yachts and the white sails. The America's Cup race of 1885 was a closely contested one, with both teams demonstrating exceptional skill and seamanship. In the end, it was "The Puritan" that crossed the finish line first, securing the trophy for the New York Yacht Club for another three years. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of yachting and the enduring allure of the America's Cup, a competition that continues to captivate sailing enthusiasts around the world.
