COLUMBIA J-YACHT
1899
and 1901 America's Cup winner
Columbia J yacht was one of the
only three vessels that ever won America's Cup twice.
She was the first to win the trophy twice in a row -- a
record not equaled until Intrepid's back-to-back wins in
1967 and 1970.
Columbia was designed and built in 1899 by the
legendary shipbuilder Nathanael Herreshoff for owners J.
Pierpont Morgan and Edwin Dennison Morgan of the New
York Yacht Club.
Launched on June 10, 1899, the Columbia J yacht easily won the
elimination trials against the rebuilt former
defender, Defender. Skippered by Charlie Barr, she won
all three races against the British
challenger, Shamrock, in the 1899 America's Cup.
J-yacht
Columbia was selected again in 1901 to defend the Cup,
and again under the command of Charlie Barr, won all
three races against Shamrock II. Such outstanding
achievement is very rare for racing boats.
Columbia was broken up in 1915. Today, the mast sits in the
Forest Hills Gardens neighborhood of New York City in a
park known as "Flagpole Green."
