This is Shamrock
Shamrock was a racing yacht built in 1898 that was the unsuccessful Irish challenger for the 1899 America's Cup against the United States defender, Columbia.
Design
Shamrock was designed by third-generation Scottish boatbuilder, William Fife III, and built in 1898 by J. However her draft was too great for construction at Chiswick and she was built at Millwall. Shamrock (also known as Shamrock I, to distinguish her from her successors) was built in 1898 under a shroud of secrecy, and christened by Lady Russell of Killowen at its launch on 26 June 1899. Shamrock featured a composite build, with manganese-bronze bottom and aluminium topside clinkerbuilt over a steel frame and a pine decking.
Career
She was initially skippered by Captain Archibald Hogarth. She sailed to New York for the America's Cup race in the summer of 1899. The Cup defender Columbia beat Shamrock in all three races. She returned to Britain in the autumn of 1899, towed by Lipton's steam yacht, Erin. She was subsequently refitted to serve as a trial horse for Shamrock II and Shamrock III.
Recently at sea
Over the past 30 days she spent 1 day at sea, covering about 11 km. Of late she has spent most of her time in Stockholm (Sweden). Yacht Tracker has been following her position since October 18, 2026.
