America (yacht)
On August 22, 1851 the yacht America won the British 100 Guinea regatta by over 20 minutes. Watching the race, Queen Victoria is supposed to have asked who was second, the reply was famously: "There is no second, your majesty." That race, and the associated trophy, became the America's Cup.
