Brief History:
The three-masted top sail schooner Atlantic was one of
eleven vessels which competed for the 1905 Emperor’s Cup, a prize put up by
Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm for a race between New York and the Lizard (the
extreme tip of Cornwall, England). Atlantic won the cup, in a very exciting
race, by achieving a time of twelve days, four hours, one minute and nineteen
seconds. In one 24-hour period she ran 348 nautical miles. The speed record of
the Atlantic in 12 days, 4 hours, 1 minute, 19 seconds was not broken for
nearly 100 years. Her speed and elegance have made her the subject of many
anecdotes. A book has been written about her.
She was taken up by
the US Navy in both world wars and was eventually acquired by the US Coast
Guard Academy. Although the Atlantic was built as a racing craft, she had a
stateroom accommodation for seven people.
