Old Cup Challenger Moved to New Berth
The old racing schooner America, once winner of the Cup for the United States, was towed from the Chelsea drawbridge area to a new berth near the Summer street bridge. Owned by General Ben Butler and later his grandson the Hon. Butler Ames, the vessel had lain at Chelsea bridge so long it lost attention. Crew aboard included Captain James Waters, caretaker, M. H. Enwright and H. C. Chase.
