There Is No Second Place . The Dockside Party was previously scheduled to toast the first day of the America's Cup 2000 challenger finals. Due to weather conditions in Auckland, New Zealand, the finals were also postponed. Now, with the Cup 2000 and The Mariners' exhibition both underway, the public can come and get the full experience of one of the greatest maritime sporting activities in the world.
Casual attire is welcome.
There Is No Second Place . The exhibition includes rare artifacts and memorabilia such as the skylight from the first Cup winner, America . Photographs by early twentieth-century maritime photographers Edwin Levick, N. L. Stebbins, and J. S. Johnston, along with paintings by Antonio Jacobsen and James Buttersworth, will capture the drama of past races. Pictures of modern-day competitions by photographer Daniel Forster will carry visitors to the present day. The Mariners' Museum, an educational, non-profit institution accredited by the American Association of Museums, preserves and interprets maritime history through an international collection of ship models, figureheads, paintings and other maritime artifacts.
