Kaiser's Cup

Kaiser's Cup was a yachting race across the Atlantic between Sandy Hook, New Jersey and The Lizard.

In 1905 it was won by the yacht Atlantic, which set a time record for the crossing the Atlantic ocean. The race was the subject of the 1905 silent film Start of Ocean Race for Kaiser's Cup,[1] and the book, Atlantic: The Last Great Race of Princes. Second place was won by the yacht Hamburg. The 2005 Rolex Transatlantic Challenge celebrated the 100th year anniversary of the race, and a new record was set by the Mari-Cha IV.
