Description

Colored lithograph depicting a moment during the Great Ocean Yacht Race of 1866 between the yachts 'Henrietta,' 'Fleetwing,' and the 'Vesta,' in which the 'Fleetwing' took a sea aboard while scudding before a hard gale. The incident washed out six of her crew out of the cockpit, and she was obliged to lay for five hours. 'Henrietta' won first place and 'Fleetwing' came in second.
