Does anyone have a good online source for information on Vigilant,
Defender, and Columbia, the winners of the 1893, 1895 and 1899
America's Cup races, respectively?

Not online, but very highly recommended:
Temple to the Wind: The Story of America's Greatest Naval Architect
and His Masterpiece, Reliance (Hardcover)

isbn 1592285570


This gives the history of Herreshoff's involvement in the America's Cup.
