Atlantic (yacht)
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
Created in 1903 by Townsend and Downey shipyard, and designed by William Gardner, for Wilson Marshall, the three-masted schooner Atlantic held the title for fastest transatlantic passage by a monohull, during a race, for 100 years[1][2].
Her speed and elegance have made her the subject of a book[3], and the construction of her replica was completed in June, 2010[4].
