History:

Columbia, an iconic American racing yacht, was launched in 1899 for the prestigious America's Cup races. Designed by Nathanael Herreshoff and built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, she was owned by J. Pierpont Morgan and Edwin Dennison Morgan of the New York Yacht Club.

Featuring a robust nickel steel frame and a sleek Tobin bronze hull, Columbia was equipped with a steel mast that was later replaced with Oregon pine. She made history as the defender of the tenth America's Cup in 1899, defeating the British challenger Shamrock, and successfully defended her title in 1901 against Shamrock II. Columbia became the first yacht to win the trophy twice in a row, securing her legacy in sailing history.
