Atlantic 1905 History:
The Atlantic yacht was built in 1903. In 1905, Atlantic
model ship became famous when it was featured as one of eleven
yachts that will be competing for the Emperor's Cup put up by Kaiser
Wilhelm for a race between New York and Lizard Head, England.
Charles Barr, Atlantic's professional captain and a veteran of
America's Cup campaigns in Columbia (1899 and 1901) and Reliance
(1903), drove the powerful schooner through a violent gale to a
crossing in 12 days and 4 hours. Atlantic's 348-mile day's run
on May 23 to 24 and that no other ships comes close and Atlantic's
over-all time was not beaten until 1968.
During World War I, The Emperor's Cup was publicly smashed
by Marshall, with the intention of donating the gold to the Red
cross. It was found out later that it was a gold-plated pewter
at 35$ worth. Atlantic was then sold to James Cox Bradley,
serving as a subchaser tender. After World War I, the ship was sold
again to Cornelius Vanderbilt. Atlantic did little racing and
in World War II, it was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guad to serve
as an antisubmarine. After the war, Atlantic was brought to
the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for sail training.
