This is the program for the first America’s Cup races between the legendary J-class boats “Shamrock V” and “Enterprise”, and the first held in Newport, RI. It was also the last Lipton loss. With histories of the New York Yacht Club, Royal Ulster Yacht Club and previous races for the Americas cup, as well as advertisements, many illustrated, for all sorts of yachting and waterfront firms. Unaccountably scarce. Not in Howland, Toy, or Rulon-Miller. Worldcat shows only the Mariner’s Museum holding a copy. Light wear, original printed wrappers.
