Originally known as the 100 Guinea Cup, the America’s Cup is sport’s oldest trophy. Weighing roughly 4 kilograms, the silver chalice was created in 1848 by Royal Jeweller Robert Garrard of London as part of the Royal Yacht Squadron’s formal trophy collection. This trophy became the symbol of the longest winning streak in sporting history. When United States yacht Liberty sailed out in the 7th and deciding race of the 1983 challenge on September 26, 1983 against Australian challenger, Australia II; 132 years of dominance rested on a single race.

Back in Australia it was early morning and it seemed that the entire country was gathered around television sets. It was one of those ‘Where was I when I heard the news?’ type of events. Australia II beat Liberty home by 41 seconds taking the series 4 - 3. Three instant heroes were created out of it: captain John Bertrand, designer Ben Lexcen and entrepreneur Alan Bond. To this day it remains a galvanising moment in Australian history, where culture, ambition and sport met in the unlikeliest of places off Newport Rhode Island, to produce a moment of national pride that bound the country together like few others have before or since.

Now this once-only, defining sports moment has been beautifully captured in a once-only collectable rarity.

CELEBRATED IMAGES

The lithographic centrepiece showcases the award winning images of Barbara Pyle. In the main photograph, which featured on the cover of Time magazine, challenger Australia II is engaged in a fierce battle with American defender Liberty, during Race 7. Other photographs show race action, the atmosphere at the docks where the boxing kangaroo emblem became famous and Skipper John Bertrand AM. Below the title banners, accompanying text describes the event and its significance.
