The Thistle was a Scottish challenger for the America's Cup in 1887, a cutter built on the Clyde that carried the hopes of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club. Its lines show the shift toward larger, deeper-keeled racing cutters that defined the era's rivalry between British and American yacht designers. Color lithographs like this one were a popular way to bring such contests to a broad public, and they often captured the sheer canvas and spray that made racing yachts so striking to watch.
