Mayflower was the victorious U.S. defender of the sixth America's Cup in 1886 against Scottish challenger Galatea.
Design
[edit]The sloop Mayflower was the second America's Cup defender designed by Edward "Ned" Burgess, built by George Lawley & Son and launched in 1886 for owner General Charles J. Paine of Boston. It was built entirely of wood: oak and hard pine. She was skippered by Martin V. B. Stone.[1]: p129 Her sails were made by John H. McManus of McManus & Son.[2]
Career
[edit]
In the trials, Mayflower defeated the yachts Puritan (Burgess' first victorious Cup defender), Priscilla, and Atlantic, and was subsequently selected to defend the 1886 Cup.[1]: p122
By 1889 the Mayflower was purchased by F. Townsend Underhill, who had it altered to become a schooner.[3] In 1905 Lady Eva Barker bought the vessel and outfitted it with an engine. She chartered it to adventurer Guy Hamilton Scull in 1908 on an expedition seeking the treasure of a sunk Spanish galleon off Jamaica. The Mayflower was sunk itself off Cuba in a hurricane during this expedition, and the crew was rescued by passing steamers.[4]
