Harriet Lane 1857
SMH-14
New product
The Harriet Lane was powered by Steam and Sails. Exact scale replica from 1857
Built in New York for the US Revenue Service in 1857, the Harriet Lane was powered by a combination of steam and sail.
She was 180 ft. long, with a 30ft beam, and carried a 30lb. Parrot rifle, plus three 9” smooth bore Dahlgrens.
The design clearly illustrates the transition from sail to steam, as steam engines were not entirely reliable, and power was not yet sufficient to allow the elimination of sail.

Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwith , Shamrock V's owner ( he acquired her in 1932 ), decided to enter the fray. He ordered a new J Class from Charles E. Nicholson, Endeavour. Nicholson designed his most fabulous challenger, with a very elegant shape and real speed capacities.
The fifteenth challenge of the America's Cup was quite a paradox: the faster yacht was beaten by the slower but better sailed yacht. In fact, with Rainbow, the Americans were saved solely due to her tactical sense and a lot of luck.
Endeavour layed down for years in the USA, without care. She was rescued by Elizabeth Meyer, of Newport, RI. Today after a $ 10,000,000 restoration, she is one of the most breathtaking sights on the water. To take helm of such a boat is to experience pure power, grace and speed.
