Sketch by Arthur W. Fowles of the schooner yacht Cambria winning the Town Cup at Ryde, Isle of Wight in 1870. Fowles made a painting of almost the same scene. Although unsuccessful, the British schooner Cambria was the first challenger that attempted to lift the America's Cup from the New York Yacht Club.
