Description: This book is the story of a Scotsman who was born poor in Victorian age and ended up a self-made millionaire, adventurer, and sailing legend who contended for the America's Cup many times. Lipton’s attempts to win the America’s Cup, the renowned yachting trophy, gave him to the public on both sides of the Atlantic and made him a true celebrity, because there never was a more passionate competitor, but equally never a more gracious loser. And his failed quest drew great admiration and sympathy. In a 1931 visit to New York, SIr THomas Lipton was praised by Mayor Jimmy Walker as “the greatest sportsman of our time".
