Temple to the Wind: The Story of America's Greatest Naval Architect and His Masterpiece, Reliance,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Reliance was a yacht like no other, built in 1903, the peak of the age of sail. A marvel of her time, Reliances mast towered 196 feet above the water, with sails stretching 202 feet from the bowsprit to the booms end. Many said Reliance, carrying more sail than any boat before or since, was simply too dangerous to sail, but the stakes were awesome: The Americas Cup in 1903 was more than a gentlemans game; it was an allornothing contest between two great rivals, rivals, Britain and America, with all the intensity of the later race into space.Behind Reliance was a gallery of American greats. There was Nathaniel Herreshoff, perhaps our greatest yacht designer, also known as the Wizard of Bristol. And there were the robber barons who made America, men like J. P. Morgan and John Rockefeller. Such men spenthundreds of thousands of dollars to win the Americas Cup. On the other side of the Atlantic, Thomas Lipton, scrappy founder of the Lipton tea and grocery empire, put his personal fortune behind the construction of an equally bold challenger, his Shamrock.From conception to construction, through hairraising sea trialstwo men died in separate incidents testing the yachtsto the grand finale of a race like no other, author Christopher Pastore brings to life this most beautiful and dangerous vessel, as well as the hearts it won and the hearts it broke. It is simply one of the most exciting sea tales ever told.
