ARTIST: PHOTOGRAPH BY LEVICK

Edwin Levick came to America in 1899 from London to work as a translator of Arabic for the Guaranty Trust Company in New York City.

He soon turned his attention to photography and was supplying his photographic services to the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times, and the New York Herald Tribune as well as Rudder and Motorboat Magazine. He began to write for newspapers and photograph for magazines of the day; he eventually decided to specialize in maritime photography. Within a few years, Levick\'s successful business had expanded having to employing seven assistants, including Morris Rosenfeld, who would later gain a reputation as a premier maritime photographer in his own right.

In 1929, Levick died at his home in New Rochelle, New York, at the peak of his career at the age of 61. The New Rochelle Standard declared he was the \"best known maritime photographer in the nation.... a genuinely artistic soul.\" He had lived in New Rochelle for the past fifteen years and was a member of the New Rochelle Yacht Club.

Yankeewas a 1930 yacht of theJ Classbuilt as a contender for theNew York Yacht Club\'s defence of the1930 America\'s Cup. She was ordered by a syndicate from theEastern Yacht Clubof Boston, organized byJohn Silsbee Lawrence, designed byFrank Cabot Paine,and built byLawley & Son.Whirlwindwas unsuccessful in her offer to become the Cup defender, an honor that went toEnterprise. With modifications, she took part in the trials for the1934 America\'s Cup. She was eventually taken to theUnited Kingdomby a new owner in 1935 and was scrapped in 1941.

When theNew York Yacht ClubacceptedSir Thomas Lipton\'s challenge for the America\'s cup, they decided to form two syndicates to build one yacht each for the defense of the cup, and also to welcome other syndicates who might want to offer a defender.TheEastern Yacht Clubput forward one such syndicate as the \"Boston–Marblehead Syndicate\", organized byJohn Silsbee Lawrenceand comprising:

• Charles F. Adams
• Chandler Hovey
• John Lawrence
• Frank Cabot Paine

Her construction was of steel frames and deck beams, with wooden decks and a hull was built from very expensiveTobin bronze.Her launch was delayed because she was being built behind and in the same shed asWhirlwind,another contender for the defense of the Cup. Inspectors fromLloyd\'srequired significant structural changes to that boat, which in turn blockedYankee\'s completion.She was eventually launched on May 10.

The syndicate also obtained several support craft forWeetamoe. These included:

• the bargeDandie
• two style=\"font-size: 21px; font-family: sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: rgb(32,33,34); font-style: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin: 0.5em 0px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgb(255,255,255); text-indent: 0px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\">Under the Racing Rules, yachts were allowed a total crew of 31, including any afterguard.The afterguard comprised:
  • Charles F. Adams (skipper)
  • Chandler Hovey
  • John Lawrence
  • Frank Paine (designer)

  The syndicate engaged a Mr. Olsen as their sailing master, and a professional crew of Scandinavian origin.
