Beskrivning:
the yankee schooner America
Note that this is not America's rig as that with which she won the £100 Cup in 1851: Donald McKay and Edward Burgess refitted her in 1875 and 1885 respectively. By 1887, the rake in her masts was reduced, all her spars were lengthened, she featured a lead keel and carried two extra headsails and a fore gaff topsail. In this photograph she also carried a fisherman. An enlarged rig and modernised build would have kept the ageing America competitive in the light yankee airs.
