History:
The three-masted topsail schooner Atlantic was one of twelve vessels which competed for the 1905 Emperor’s Cup, a prize put up by Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm for a race between New York and the Lizard (the extreme tip of Cornwall). Atlantic won the cup by achieving a time of twelve days and four hours. In one 24-hour period she ran 348 nautical miles. She was taken up by the US Navy in both world wars and was eventually acquired by the US Coast Guard Academy. Although the Atlantic was built as a racing craft, she had a stateroom accommodation for seven people.

Comment: Love this boat! The quality is excellent! The "directions" include are lacking, but you can figure it out, the rigging is fairly simple.

Beautiful Reviewed by: JayCee , Date: 1/22/2016 , Source: Amazon
Comment: This is a really beautiful model. The first one I ordered was missing a pin from the mast to the deck. I called Amazon and the gentleman I spoke with was extremely helpful and sent out a replacement. This one arrived a few days ago and it is perfect. It arrives with the mast, boom and sails down. It's a little challenging if you have zero knowledge about sail boats, but you can do it with a little patience and common sense. The directions are not at all helpful and could use serious improvement. They ship a tube of liquid which is not labeled nor described in the directions. I was left to assume that it was glue. You can see in the photo, that I have taped the "ropes" in place while the mast glue dries. I will have to slip knot all loose "ropes". I give the directions 2 stars (barely helpful) but the model is a beautiful 5 stars. I'm very happy with this model and Amazons service.
