History:
The Columbia was a legendary American racing yacht, built in 1899 to compete in the prestigious America’s Cup. Designed by the renowned naval architect Nathanael Greene Herreshoff and constructed at the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company in Bristol, Rhode Island, Columbia represented the pinnacle of yacht innovation at the turn of the 20th century.
Commissioned by J. Pierpont Morgan and Edwin Dennison Morgan, prominent members of the New York Yacht Club, Columbia was crafted to defend America’s dominance in competitive sailing. She featured cutting-edge materials for her time, including a nickel steel frame, a Tobin bronze-plated hull, and an original steel mast later replaced with Oregon pine for improved performance. Measuring 131 feet overall, Columbia combined sleek lines with advanced rigging, making her a formidable competitor.
Columbia made history by successfully defending the America’s Cup in 1899 against Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock, and again in 1901 against Shamrock II. With these consecutive victories, she became the first yacht to defend the Cup twice in a row, securing her place as one of the most iconic racing vessels of her era.
