History:

The Atlantic was a legendary three-masted topsail schooner, launched in 1903, designed to be a high-performance racing vessel. She gained international fame after competing in the 1905 Emperor’s Cup, a prestigious race set by Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm, held between New York and the Lizard, located at the southern tip of Cornwall. The Atlantic triumphed in the race, completing the crossing in an impressive 12 days, 4 hours, 1 minute, and 19 seconds. During the race, she demonstrated extraordinary speed, covering 348 nautical miles in a single 24-hour period.

Her victory cemented her status as one of the fastest ships of her time. Built for speed, the Atlantic was a remarkable blend of racing prowess and luxurious design, with stateroom accommodations for seven passengers, showcasing her dual purpose as both a racing vessel and a comfortable cruiser.

The ship’s success did not go unnoticed, and she was eventually taken into service by the U.S. Navy during both World Wars, serving a variety of roles. After her military service, the Atlantic was acquired by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Though built for competition, her legacy as a maritime icon endures, remembered for her speed, elegance, and remarkable achievement in crossing the Atlantic in record time.
