Gott skick. Assisted by George Calvert Simons. Introduction by Harold S. Vanderbilt. 194 pages. Stanley Rosenfeld, Photographic Consultant. Covers the 1851 RYS race and the first 19 matches from 1870 to 1964. Includes a chapter of 19th century editorial cartoons about the Cup. Many b/w photos and drawings, plus two color plates. Appendix contains statistics on the Cup races, challenging and defending yachts, and diagrams of the ocean courses. Carrick deftly tells the history of the Cup in his prose, but what sets this book apart is the quantity of portraits, candid photos, and drawings of the Cup's competitors, many not published elsewhere. Includes rarely seen images of John S. Dickerson, John Barr, Resolute's afterguard, and candid photos of Chandler Hovey and Gerard Lambert.
