Atlantic 70cm
Built in New York in 1903, the Atlantic achieved its greatest fame in 1905 when she was one of 11 yachts to compete for the Emperor’s Cup put up by Kaiser Wilhelm for a race from New York to Lizard Head, England.
During WW II, Atlantic was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard for antisubmarine duty. After the war, she was brought to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for sail training.
The ship’s beautiful remains could still be seen on the river’s Jersey shore nowadays.
Our model is hand-made using the traditional plank on frame method, with meticulously hand sewn sails.
