Schooner America Being Reproduced
The 116th anniversary of the first America schooner's launch marks a replica's debut. Original America sailed May 3, 1851 to win the America's Cup, with a 58 mile Isle of Wight course victory. The new vessel, built by F. M. Schaefer Brewing Co in East Boothbay, aims to appear at Newport R. I. races in September.
