Boston Regatta, the Yachts starting for the Cup, 1856. Creator: Edwin Weedon

Boston Regatta, the Yachts starting for the Cup, 1856. Sailing race off the Lincolnshire coast. Red Rover [Mr. Bugg]... Waterwitch [Mr R Thorpe]...Fairy [Mr. W. H. Lewin (commodore]...Magic [Mr. C. Anderson (vice-commodore)]...At starting the Magic, having the windward side, was the first to take the lead, followed in quick succession by the Waterwitch and other yachts, the Red Rover bringing up the rear; this position she occupied while she was in the race, but at length her career was cut short by her running upon the Ants Sand, where she remained until the tide turned in the evening...Up to this point it had all been plain sailing before the wind; now came the serious work, the next twenty miles of the course being almost dead in the wind's eye...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
