From SPORTS HISTORY WEEKLY:
"Captains of industry turned competitive yachtsmen is nothing new in the exclusive world of the rich and famous.
In 1851, steamship ferry owner John Stevens and a group of wealthy businessmen representing the New York Yacht Club defeated the best of the English fleet in a sailing race around the Isle of Wight.
The winners took home a ewer-shaped cup and through a deed of gift, declared the prize a “challenge trophy” for promoting friendly competition among nations."
