MS Shamrock 20" History:
The Shamrock (yacht) was a Gaff-rigged cutter yacht designed by thrid-generation Scottish boatbuilder, William Fife, Jr. The Shamrock was built in 1898 by J. Thorneycroft & Co., at Church Wharf, Chiswick, for owner Sir Thomas Lipton of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club (and also of Lipton Tea fame). Shamrock was built of all-metal construction, with a steel frame and a pine deck. She was skippered by Captain Archibald "Archie" Hogarth.
Shamrock participated in the 10th America's Cup in 1899. But unfortunately, Shamrock lost against the united States defender, Columbia.Shamrock returned to Britain in autumn of 1899, towed by Lipton's steam yacht, Erin. It was dry-docked on arrival. Shamrock was subsequently refitted and was used as a trial horse, to test against the later challengers, Shamrock II, III and IV.
