Apparently there really was a Sir Thomas Lipton who founded Lipton's Tea. Here he is with the crew of the Shamrock IV at Morse's Dry Dock, Brooklyn, in preparation for the 1920 America's Cup race. (He lost.)

This Day in History: America's Cup

At about this time in 1851, the New York Yacht Club’s schooner, America, races and defeats fifteen yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron. Did the Americans forget that they were supposed to lose?!? The New York club was then still relatively new, whereas the British one was older and more prestigious.

Yet again, Americans began as the underdog—and emerged victorious!

That 1851 race laid the foundation for the international racing competition today known as the America’s Cup. In modern times, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent by those striving to win, but that first race in 1851 set the stage for everything that was to follow.

On Day 7 of the Louis Vuitton Round Robin Challenger Series, NYYC American Magic secured their spot in the semifinals after a hard-fought victory against the Orient Express Racing Team (France). Despite tough conditions and a challenging race against Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli earlier in the day, the American team showed resilience and skill to clinch the win they needed.
