Lipîon and His Yacht Will Try Again Special Cable Service. Neto York Tribune (Copyright, 1919, New York Tribune Inc.) LONDON, October 18. The TE had many a try and many a defeat," said Sir Thomas Llpton in an interview to-day with Resolute: The Tribune correspondent, "but thia time I think I have got them." "I Sir Thomas thus indicated .the optimism with which he regarda the chances of Shamrock IV WH/Ctf IVO/V in the coming America'a Cup races off Sandy Hook. //WS or "I don't think there is any doubt that the challenge will be accepted," he said, "nor that this will be my time. Of course, the best boat is going to win, but I can say my boat is going to turn the trick. THSTWZLVS I have every confidence in Captain Burton, who will sail Shamrock. He is an amateur, but has sailed je/JCSS //V more than a thousand races and has established a famous record. "Shamrock, as you know, was on her way to America when the war began, and has been laid up ""X /Q/S /7 ever since. But Mr. Nicholson cabled me before he sailed from America that she has had the best of care and is in the best possible condition. That is all I want to know. "The American cup defender was built before the war, about the same time as the Shamrock, so there won't be any advantage In point of age for either boat. "I have sailed .Shamrock IV up and down the coast of England and am convinced she Is the best boat afloat. I've another Shamrock which I will send across some time before the date set for the races and which will act as a trial horse." .. t Sir Thomas is anxious to know as early as possible what date will be set for the races next year. "There is one thing I want to.say as emphatically as possible," he continued. "That is the mag¬ nificent treatment I have always received at the hands of the New York Yacht Club. I have always been given the best of everything. Perhaps in the past there have been a few mistakes, but they have generally been in my favor. I have sailed yachts in a great many places, but nowhere have I been better treated and there is nowhere I would rather sail than under the auspices of the New York Yacht Club." The Irish yachtsman is uncertain when he will go to America He may not go until shortly before the races next year. There will be a lot of British money up on Shamrock TV nejct year.

  • James Henry Flux 1868 – 1950
    James Henry Flux 1868 – 1950 James Henry Flux was born in Cowes on the 7th February 1868 to Jacob Flux and his wife Eliza nee Whitticom. The family were Wesleyan Methodists and he was baptised in the West Cowes chapel on 26th May. He was their third child, with older siblings Thomas and Eliza. Four more children came along, Emily, Ernest, Alfred and Lillian, although poor Lillian only lived to the age of three. Jacob’s job as a yacht rigger meant he was often away at sea and Eliza brought the family up in the centre of Cowes at Market Place. In 1881 13 year old James was an errand boy, but Cowes was the centre of sailing, and also had a healthy ship-building industry. After serving his apprenticeship as a shipwright James worked at the Royal Naval Works in Woolston, Southampton, and later with the West India Company. James was one of the earliest members of the Associated Shipwrights Society joining the Southampton branch in 1889. On returning to Cowes he joined Messrs J Samuel White and Company, who were renowned shipbuilders. James did not follow his parents into non-conformity. On 26th December 1887 James married Eliza Matthews, at 27, 8 years his senior, at St Mary’s Church in Cowes. He was living in Prospect Road. Their first child, Lillian Mabel was born the following June. The family moved around, in 1891 they were living in Fellows Road and their first son James Bernard was born. In 1893 when their final child, William Ernest was born, they were living in Tennyson Road.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    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.

For more information on membership levels and benefits, please visit www.mvmuseum.org Changes In a year of changes for the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, this journal is changing as well. Beginning with this issue, it returns to the quarterly publication schedule—February, May, August, November—that it fol- lowed for its first fifty years (1959-2009). It does so, moreover, under a new title designed to highlight its connection to the Museum and, by evoking the spirit of publications such as the William & Mary Quarterly and New England Quarterly, to highlight the mixture of scholarly content and ac- cessible writing that have always been its hallmark. Scholarly articles rooted in original research remain, as they have been for six decades, the backbone of this journal. The current issue presents two exceptional ones: one by a frequent contributor, and one by a new ad- dition to the ranks of Vineyard historians. The return to four issues per year will, however, also give us the freedom to run additional features— some new, others familiar from decades past—that will provide a deeper, richer understanding of Vineyard history and culture.

Mike Vanderbilt commissioned four designs each from two designers and two designs created jointly for a J-class yacht to defend the 1937 America’s Cup challenge. The America’s Cup defender, Ranger, was built from one of the combined plans.
