The America’s Cup: Part Four – Sports Bizarre
Manage episode 377219346 series 3370472
By the end of the 19th Century, the America’s Cup had become a plaything for the rich, with men like J.P.Morgan and William K Vanderbilt controlling the New York Yacht Club.
Challenging them from Britain was Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, founder of Lipton’s tea, who would challenge five times for the Cup.
In one practice, no less than King Edward II was on board when the mast collapsed, almost killing him. The King had his cigar knocked out of his hand, and calmly lighted a fresh one before asking if anyone was hurt.
This week, there will be two episodes; the second will be out on Wednesday, except for Bizarre Plus members, who will receive both immediately.
