Summary edit

Description
English: A painting by Franklyn Bassford of the yacht Mischief of the New York Yacht Club, the defender, leads the 1881 America's Cup. Also in the picture running parallel alongside her is the Royal Canadian Yacht Club’s representative, Atalanta. Spectators waving from the named tug boat, the E. Luckenback. Mischief is flying the Atlantic Yacht Club burgee, with national ensigns in view. Following them are members of the N.Y.Y.C. yacht squadron and others running in their wake. The following tug flies a neutral pilot jack, but undoubtedly is loaded with American yacht racing fans. Mischief an iron sloop designed by A. Cary Smith, was an early “compromise” that borrowed some of the best features of English cutters and blended them with American speed. She handedly defeated the Atalanta, but was challenged in the contests by American Sloop Gracie, that started 10 minutes behind the racers but came close to finishing first in both races on 9 and 10 November 1881.
