  • Media Release, March 11, 2021 the America's Cup World Series (ACWS
    maxon precision motors, inc. 125 Dever Drive Taunton, MA 02780 Phone: 508-677-0520 [email protected] www.maxongroup.us Media release, March 11, 2021 The America’s Cup World Series (ACWS) in December and Prada Cup in January-February were the first time that the AC75 class yachts had been sailed in competition anywhere, including by the competitors themselves. The boat’s capabilities were on full display demonstrating how hard each team has pushed the frontiers of technology, design, and innovation. Over the course of the ACWS, Emirates Team New Zealand was able to observe their competition including current challenger, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli. Luna Rossa last won the challenger selection series back in 2000 on their first attempt at the America’s Cup. This was the last time Emirates Team New Zealand met the Italians. As history shows Italy has not yet won the cup itself. They look strong and were totally dominant in the Prada Cup Final maintaining quiet confidence, but they are up against a sailing team in Emirates Team New Zealand who are knowledgeable, skilled, and very fast. Emirates Team New Zealand will have collected a great deal of data from Luna Rossa’s racing to date, with which to compare their performance and gain valuable insight into their opponents’ tactics and strategy. The Kiwis approach to the America’s Cup campaign holds a firm focus on innovation. Back in 2017/2018 when the design process began for the new current class of AC75 yachts, the entire concept was proven only through use of a simulator without any prototypes.

INTRODUCTION: "THE OLDEST CONTINUOUS TROPHY IN SPORTS" 2 One-hundred and thirty-seven ounces of solid silver, standing over two feet tall, this "One Hundred Guinea Cup" created under the authorization of Queen Victoria in 1848 is physically what is at stake at every America's Cup regatta.3 However, it is the dignity, honor, and national pride that attach to the victor of this cherished objet d'art that have been the desire of the yacht racing community since its creation. 4 Unfortunately, this desire often turns to envy and has driven some to abandon concepts of sportsmanship and operate by "greed, commercialism and zealotry."5 When these prin- ciples clash "the outcome of the case [will be] dictated by elemental legal principles."6 1.

    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

  • SEAFARING WOMEN: an Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships
    SEAFARING WOMEN: An Investigation of Material Culture for Potential Archaeological Diagnostics of Women on Nineteenth-Century Sailing Ships by R. Laurel Seaborn April, 2014 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies ABSTRACT During the 19th century, women went to sea on sailing ships. Wives and family accompanied captains on their voyages from New England. They wrote journals and letters that detailed their life on board, adventures in foreign ports, and feelings of separation from family left behind. Although the women kept separate from the sailors as class and social status dictated, they contributed as nannies, nurses and navigators when required. Examination of the historical documents, ship cabin plans, and photos of those interiors, as well as looking at surviving ships, such as the whaleship Charles W. Morgan, provided evidence of the objects women brought and used on board. The investigation from a gendered perspective of the extant material culture, and shipwreck site reports laid the groundwork for finding potential archaeological diagnostics of women living on board.

  • RACING SCHOONERS and AMERICA's CUP DREAMS. In
    RACING SCHOONERS AND AMERICA’S CUP DREAMS. In 1851 this schooner sailed from New York to partake in yacht racing at Cowes. She was aptly named the “America”. She was not made to feel particularly welcome in the Solent, partly because she was syndicate owned, unheard of in Britain where racing yachts were owned by one person, preferably Royal, titled or definitely a “gentleman”, and partly because Americans were viewed with some suspicion at the time, and not considered as gentlemen. Subsequently the “America” was barred from entering most of the races. She was, however allowed to race around the Island for the 100 guinea Queen’s Cup which she won, beating the entire fleet of the cream of British racing yachts into the bargain. Yacht racing rules were of a more casual nature in those days, and subsequently a tad ambiguous, so that the win did not go without a few comments about sportsmanship and a certain ill-feeling which set the tone for all subsequent races for this cup. Here is the cup she won, a rather brash, but valuable silver trophy by Garrards of London. This the syndicate took back to the New York Yacht Club, renamed it the “America’s Cup”, and by deed of gift offered it for international competition. Then nothing happened for the next nineteen years, partly due to civil war in the USA, and partly due to international indifference. Meanwhile in England a new face had burst upon the yachting scene in the late 1860s. This was James Lloyd Ashbury, the son of John Ashbury, a self- made man who had built up from a two man wheelwright shop the largest railway manufacturing business in the UK, producing rolling stock, iron bridges, turn-tables and other railway equipment in his factory at Openshaw in Manchester employing over two thousand men.

  • The Goddard Papers: the History of a Nineteenth-Century Shipbuilder and Merchant
    The Goddard Papers: The History of a Nineteenth-Century Shipbuilder and Merchant Frances Brennan On 30 December 1833, a young man, who had apprenticed at his father’s side, affixed his signature to a Partnership Agreement by which the firm of William Goddard and Son was founded. With an investment of only five thousand dollars, William Warren Goddard stepped into the world of shipbuilding and mercantile trade in the Port of Boston. The elder Goddard brought to the partnership three extremely seaworthy vessels; namely, the ship AMERICA, the ship MOUNT VERNON, and the Brig CONGRESS. It was also part of the Agreement that he would supply additional cash, as required, and thereafter devote such time and attention to this new endeavor as he would find convenient. William W. Goddard agreed to apply his whole time and ability to the business of the firm.1 By this mutual agreement the career of one was diminishing, while that of the other had just begun. Within two years his father was dead, and William W. Goddard, who was then twenty-three years of age, became the sole owner of the firm. The success of most men in the maritime industry, in the years when sail dominated the seas, was either as builder, captain, or merchant. William W. Goddard had the brilliance of the builder, and the astuteness of the merchant, and went on to excel in both. His fame as a builder is best evidenced by recounting the essence of an article published on 15 April 1868 in The Boston Traveller, in which two of his ships, HARRIOT ERVING and CRUSADER, were included as the remarkable ships of the Port of Boston: Designed and built by W.W.Goddard .

During the second half of the nineteenth century, Buttersworth was the marine painter of choice for well-to- do yacht owners seeking to commemorate their sporting triumphs on canvas.

This was the case at Christie’s New York in May, where one determined buyer prevailed in two back- to-back rounds of spirited bidding. “Buttersworth’s market is way beyond strong,” Godel says, “it’s amazing. People really want the yacht pictures, and they’re selling for way beyond what they’d bring just four or five years ago.” In addition to his prized yacht-racing scenes (Figs.
