Pierpont Morgan and Edwin D. Morgan. <i>Columbia</i> was a fin keel sloop measuring 131.7 feet in length, 24.24 feet in beam, 19.6 feet in depth, and 102 tons. In 1899 it won the America's Cup, beating the British <i>Shamrock</i> owned by Sir Thomas Lipton. In 1901 it successfully defeated the <i>Shamrock II</i>, becoming the first yacht to ever win consecutive America's Cup races. In 1913 <i>Columbia</i> was broken up at Hawkins Yard in City Island, New York. The painting shows a starboard view of the yacht under full sail. Carlton Theodore Chapman (1860-1925) was an American marine and landscape painter.
