£99.00
7617 Shamrock II, £99.00
Commissioned by Sir Thomas Lipton and launched in 1901. Shamrock II had a less than auspicious initial outing, when during her sea trials in the Solent, the pressure of the wind over her massive sail area proved too much for the rig of the yacht, resulting in the 130ft (43m) mast and 100ft (33m) boom crashing down to the deck. Luckily none of those aboard, including King Edward VII were seriously injured.
Length 19.5", height 21".
