Summary

Description
English: On the left wearing the red flag is the New York Yacht Club members George and Franklin Osgood's Fleetwing. A wager of $30,000 each was put up by the yacht owners for the head-to-head-to-head match race across the Atlantic Ocean. Bennett's Henrietta was the first to the finish off the Isle of Wight with a time of 13 days, 21 hours and 45 minutes winning the then-unrivaled and unheard of purse for any race of $90,000. Foremost wearing the Blue flag was Henrietta, owned by renowned newspaper publisher and infamous yachtsman James Gordon Bennett, Jr. The White flag is atop the mast of Vesta, owned by tobacco baron and racehorse aficionado Pierre Lorillard, who initiated the competition with a dinner party boast over turtle soup that his 105-foot schooner was the fastest yacht afloat.

The author died in 1894, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
