The Royal Thames Yacht Club Match - the Yachts passing Grays, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Royal Thames Yacht Club Match - the Yachts passing Grays, 1856. Boat race on the River Thames. Secret, Amazon, Thought, Extravaganza...The course of the vessels was from Erith, round the Nore Light, and back to Erith...The Secret was off first, then the Amazon, and next the Extravaganza. The Thought was very slow in getting away, and her antagonist was nearly at the point before she had well got away from the starting-buoy...at East Tilbury the Extravaganza obtained the second place; and thence to the Nore Light the Thought showed her great running powers by rapidly decreasing the distance between herself and the leading boats...The first prize was presented to the owner of the Amazon by the Vice-Commodore...She was sailed and piloted by her own captain, Timothy Walker'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
