'Columbia' and 'Shamrock II': Turning the Outer Stake Boat
'Columbia' and 'Shamrock II': Turning the Outer Stake Boat is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 1901, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
Here the yachts are both sailing under a twenty-knot breeze, and the effect is most beautiful as they turn the stake, the Shamrock leading by one-eight of a mile. The sailors working at the ropes make a most beautiful effect as the yachts pull about for home and begin the great struggle which ended in the awarding of the cup to Columbia.
