In 1895, emissaries from the New York Yacht Club traveled to Deer
Isle, Maine, to recruit the nation's best sailors, an "All
American" crew. This remote island in Penobscot Bay sent nearly
thirty of its fishing men to sail "Defender," and under skipper
Hank Haff, they beat their opponents in a difficult and
controversial series. To the delight of the American public, the
charismatic Sir Thomas Lipton sent a surprise challenge in 1899.
The New York Yacht Club knew where to turn and again recruited Deer
Isle's fisherman sailors. Undefeated in two defense campaigns, they
are still considered one of the best American sail-racing teams
ever assembled. Read their fascinating story and relive their
adventure.
