This print takes us back to the exhilarating Americas Cup Trials of 1887. Three magnificent sailing vessels, the Volunteer, the Mayflower, and the Thistle, are captured in a moment of fierce competition on September 16th. The stakes were high as these remarkable yachts battled it out for a chance to represent their nations in one of the most prestigious sailing races in history. From left to right, we see each vessel showcasing its unique design and prowess on the water. The Volunteer's sleek lines exude confidence while the Mayflower displays an air of determination. Meanwhile, the Thistle stands tall with its impressive sails billowing against the wind. Ultimately, only two would be chosen to compete in this legendary race - and it was none other than the Volunteer and Thistle that emerged victorious from this intense selection process. These exceptional boats would go on to etch their names into sailing history. The Hulton Archive has masterfully preserved this snapshot from a bygone era when sailboats ruled supreme over vast oceans. It serves as a testament not only to human ingenuity but also to our enduring love affair with adventure on sea. Whether you're an avid sailor or simply appreciate breathtaking moments frozen in time, this print is sure to transport you back to a time when these majestic vessels graced our waters with their presence.
