Framed Print of Royal Halifax (Nova Scotia) Yacht Club Race, 1873. Creator: Unknown
Royal Halifax (Nova Scotia). Yacht Club Race, 1873. This club, the only yacht club on the Canadian seaboard, inaugurated ocean races for its squadron on Sept. 19, when the Sambro Cup was sailed for over a course extending from the head of Halifax Harbour to and round Sambro Light and back - thirty-six nautical miles in a direct line, sixty miles allowing for beat to windward all the way down. Three yachts contested - the Petrel, Whisper, and Squirrel, all sloops. The Whisper came in first by 12 min. 30 sec.; the Petrel, the smallest yacht, coming in second. The race was sailed in 7h. 40min. and the return was witnessed by dense crowds packed on every wharf. The order of rounding at Sambro was telegraphed to Halifax Citadel, eighteen miles distant, and signalled there. Our Illustration, from a sketch by Mr. Sumichrast, who followed the race in the secretary's yacht, shows the Whisper, on the home-stretch, passing the Petrel as the latter is preparing to round Sambro Light'.
