Rainbow Defenders Return to Bath Iron Works Amid Hopes for 1937 Cup
The Rainbow, 1934 America Cup defender, arrived in the Kennebec river on September 2 and was moved to a Bath Iron Works dock by the Seguin. Vanderbilt and designer Burgess inspected the yard as plans for a new Rainbow to defend the cup against Sopwith’s Endeavour II move forward. Officials hinted the new hull may use aluminum and be built at Bath, with Burgess and Olin J. Stephens leading the project. The move signals Bath Iron Works as the likely site for the 1937 challenge craft.
