Sept 13th 1899
After a very competitive season Nat Herreshoff’s new 90 footer Columbia with Charlie Barr at the helm had been selected to defend the America’s Cup against Sir Thomas Lipton’s first Shamrock.
The painting depicts Columbia and the 1895 America’s Cup victor Defender racing off Oyster Bay in a stiff Breeze. Although unsuccessful in her bid to defend the 1899 America’s Cup Defender was made available by her owners in the weeks before the Cup matches against Shamrock to help tune up Columbia to the peak of performance.
Columbia went on to easily defend the America’s Cup against Shamrock winning 4 straight races

Born and raised in Louisiana, Laura Cooper began life surrounded by water. Her childhood home was on the banks of the Vermilion Bayou in Lafayette. She has fond memories of watching the tugboats push barges from the Gulf of Mexico as she was sitting on her back porch. She often went on fishing trips with her family in Louisiana and Upstate New York, where her father’s family summered for generations. This early exposure to the maritime world led her to capture the beauty of sailing on canvas. Her work combines a unique relationship between atmosphere and light while maintaining a painterly feel. Her art is in collections around the world.
She is a Signature Member and the Treasurer of the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA).
