History on Wikipedia HERE
America, under Dick Brown's command, pilot from New York, set out for England in June 1851 to take part in the regatta which was to be held on the 22nd of August around the Isle of Wight, without any compensation for difference of tonnage or rigging. The prize offered was a 100 guineas cup. America carried off an overwhelming victory over the English squadron. Famous are the words which the signalman transmitted to Queen Victoria and which passed into the history of the UnitedStates: 'America first, your Majesty. There is no second'. America presented remarkable novelties in the form of the hull, above all as far as the water lines and the main section were concerned, the latter.
