'For the 1901 series no less than three great American
yachts were in competition to defend the Cup. The previous
winner, Columbia, was still in contention with the great
Charlie Barr at the helm, and two fine new vessels were
built...Columbia still proved to be the superior boat overall
and went on successfully to win the 1901 Cup races.
Here the three contenders, from left to right: Constitution,
Columbia, and Independence, are racing off Newport in
the July 1901 trials.'

Great paintings, thanks.
