Columbia

Dimensions: 24"Lx5"Wx31"H

Columbia was launched on June 10, 1899. It easily won the elimination trials against the rebuilt former defender, Defender. Skippered by Charlie Barr, it won all three races against the British defender, Shamrock in the 1899 America's Cup.

Columbia was selected again in 1901 to defend the Cup, and again under the command of Charlie Barr, won all three races against Shamrock II. It was the first vessel to win the trophy twice in a row.

In 1903 Columbia was refitted with the hope of being selected for a third time, but it was badly beaten in the selection trials by the yacht Reliance.

Columbia was cut up for scrap in 1913 at City Island.

Some Semi Assembly is required (putting the masts up)
