The American sloop Volunteer defeats the foreign Thistle in the first 1887 America's Cup contest amid a 50 000 spectator flotilla. Despite light air and crowded waters from excursion boats the Volunteer leads from start to finish, finishing 4 53 18 to 5 12 4 13 over thirty eight miles. The Thistle loses decisively but earns praise for seaworthiness, while comments from spectators and officials note a fair race.
