Framed Print of The new Thames Yacht Club schooner-match: rounding the Mouse Light-ship, 1871. Creator: Unknown
The new Thames Yacht Club schooner-match: rounding the Mouse Light-ship, 1871. The course was from Gravesend to the Mouse Light and back. No vessel of less than 100 tons burden was allowed to compete, and there was a time allowance of fifteen seconds for each ton in favour of the smaller vessels. The five boats which actually started were the Egeria, 152 tons, owner Mr. J. Mulholland; the Livonia, 265 tons, Mr. J. Ashbury; the Gloriana, 133 tons, Mr. A. O. Wilkinson; the Gwendolin, 183 tons, Major W. Ewing; and the Flying Cloud, 75 tons, Count Batthyani...There was a moderate wind from the south-south-west. The Flying Cloud at first took the lead, but was passed by the Livonia and Egeria three miles above the Mouse Lightship. As they rounded the Mouse the Egeria came foremost, 1 min. 40 sec. before the Livonia; the Flying Cloud was half a minute behind the Livonia; the Gloriana and the Gwendolin followed, two or three minutes later. The Livonia, however, took the first place soon after rounding the Mouse, and finally won the first prize of £100, preceding the Egeria, at the end, by more than half an hour; the Gloriana came in third...The Egeria won the £50 second prize'.
