Sir Thomas Lipton had a passion for yachting, and was the most persistent challenger in the history of the America's Cup. King Edward VII and King George V both shared Lipton's interest in yachting and enjoyed his company. Lipton is seen on this picture (in white pants) aboard the S.S. Erin.
Between 1899 and 1930 Lipton challenged the American holders of the America's Cup through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club five times with his yachts called Shamrock -Shamrock V. His well publicised attempts, which earned him a specially designed cup 'best of all losers' cup, made his tea brand famous in the U.S. This PC, postmarked 1904, shows Shamrock III.
