Columbia: How the classic Fisherman’s Cup schooner was reborn
To celebrate her recent appearance at the America's Cup Superyacht Regatta , we revisit the story of how Columbia was reborn as one of the most beautiful fishing schooners afloat
It was hot and humid, a haze hovering above the water just hours after the sun had appeared, a typical late-August day in Panama City, Florida. It was ideal weather for ice-cold drinks and swimming — pleasures that the crowd that had gathered at the Eastern Shipbuilding Group ’s Nelson Street shipyard had eschewed, choosing instead to stand on a sunny hillside to watch a graceful blue-hulled schooner inch her way into the water.
An oddity for a commercial yard that has produced many high-tonnage steel vessels without frills, the two-masted yacht is a replica of the 1923 Gloucester fishing schooner Columbia , a ship that inspired thousands of Americans in her quest for the elusive International Fishermen’s Cup in the early 1920s.
The popular answer to the America’s Cup , the Fishermen’s Cup dominated newspaper headlines for 19 years and fuelled competition between the United States and Canada, more specifically between fishing rivals Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.
A “working man’s event, a tough, no-holds-barred affair,” the race celebrated a “rugged, rigorous way of life that was on its way out,” writes Keith McLaren in his book A Race for Real Sailors . The prizes were $4,000, the silver Cup and national pride.
The original Columbia’s owners turned to Massachusetts expertise and hired architect W. Starling Burgess , who went on to design America’s Cup defender Rainbow , and builder Arthur Dana Story of Essex to create a winner.
Some say Columbia was modelled on the Burgess-designed Puritan , a promising contender that met a premature end on the foggy shores of Sable Island in Nova Scotia. Built for $35,000, Columbia was to go after cup defender Bluenose , a 43.59 metre Canadian-built schooner with a daredevil of a captain, Angus Walters.
At the hands of her equally determined skipper, Ben Pine, Columbia came very close to reclaiming the cup for the US in 1923, but a winner was never determined. She won her trials in 1926, but never again had a chance to prove herself in the finals.
The contentious 1923 race started a brawl and the cup went undisputed for a few years. On August 26, 1927, while chasing fish off Nova Scotia, Columbia and her mostly Canadian crew of 22 disappeared into the raging waters off Sable Island. Bluenose won the last fishermen’s race in 1938.
Nearly 87 years after her demise, Columbia has risen again. “Her story is coming full circle, almost [87 years] to the day,” said Kevin Kerwin, the project’s engineer, as the new Columbia was set afloat in Panama City on August 23, 2014.
The 42.98 metre schooner, built in steel, unlike the wooden original, but with the same graceful lines, sheer, bowsprit and the heart-shaped transom of her namesake, is the long-time dream of Eastern Shipbuilding Group’s founder and president, Brian D’Isernia.
Decades ago, D’Isernia went fishing and really took to it. He cast aside a career in law to become a commercial fisherman and then began building his own fishing boats. His business bloomed into a huge commercial shipyard that now employs more than 1,500 people. Among hundreds of vessels his Panama City yard built was a 22 metre longliner that became the Andrea Gail , immortalised in the novel and movie The Perfect Storm .
The fishing boat was lost with all hands somewhere near Sable Island, just like Columbia . “There was kind of an affinity there,” says D’Isernia, who loves history and found Columbia ’s original blueprints, signed by the architect, while searching cardboard boxes in the Essex Shipbuilding Museum’s archives room.
He shared those lines with Boston-based naval architects John W. Gilbert & Associates, who used Autocad to reproduce them faithfully to 1/64 of an inch.
The 930 square metre rig and sail plan is also a close copy of the original Columbia , except for the addition of hydraulic winches to ease handling. The nine sails, including a 315 square metre mainsail, are made of a synthetic material called Oceanus treated to look and behave like Egyptian cotton, and the lines are made of Dacron instead of manila.
The original Columbia was the last Gloucester schooner to be built without an engine, but her modern counterpart has a single modestly powered Caterpillar diesel engine, one of many manoeuvring conveniences added to her classic hull.
She also serves a very different purpose. Her captain, Karl Joyner, points out that the new Columbia is a blend of two worlds, a fishing and racing schooner that requires specialised crew to handle her powerful sail plan and a luxurious family yacht. It makes for interesting crew choices; it also means that the new Columbia is fundamentally different from the original.
Instead of a large cargo hold for fish, which fishermen hauled over her low-lying sides, Columbia now has a sumptuous owner's cabin and guest staterooms finished in teak, maple and mahogany.
The deckhouse, a little longer than the original, conceals the entrance to this beautifully finished interior, with brass lamps, a fireplace, leather banquettes, dining tables, an open galley and four private cabins. A crew room forward has multiple bunks for a full regatta crew or the owners’ large family.
D’Isernia, who is still a fisherman at heart, made sure there was room for two fish holds, which are equipped with two first-rate Eskimo ice machines. On the way to Columbia ’s first public appearance at the 2014 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show , Joyner says the guests caught wahoo and blue fin tuna.
There is a bit of an added twist to the story of how the new Columbia was made. Back in the day, it was Lunenburg versus Gloucester, Canada versus the US, a battle for cod and herring and a contest between the fastest schooners. The new Columbia , in her owner’s quest for authenticity, blends both heritages. The American-flagged vessel relied on experts from both sides of the border.
Eastern Shipbuilding is skilled at steel building, but a classic and luxurious schooner is a bit of a different animal. So D’Isernia hired Jacob Stevens, whose family has long been associated with boatbuilding in Boothbay, Maine, to manage the construction of Columbia . His colleagues at the shipyard credit him, especially, for the impeccable steel work and fairing.
On launch day, Columbia also had the flag of Nova Scotia flying off one of her two masts and a contingent of Canadian craftsmen in attendance. They had accompanied her Douglas fir and Sitka spruce masts, made by Covey Island Boatworks , all the way to Panama City from Lunenburg, the home of Bluenose (which eventually sank in 1946 with a cargo full of bananas) and the 1963-built replica Bluenose II . The sails, the blocks, the rigging and two authentic dories housed on the ship’s teak deck also came from Lunenburg.
D’Isernia’s team looked for suppliers both in the US and Canada before deciding on the Lunenburg companies. “What we found was that more of the skills and tradition left from building these schooners survived in Lunenburg than did in the United States,” says D’Isernia.
For example, contributing to the authentic looks of the new Columbia were third-generation block builder Arthur Dauphinee, in his late 70s, whose grandfather did the blocks for Bluenose , and his second cousin, Michele Stevens, a fourth-generation sailmaker.
“I like what I do, to take a roll of cloth and make something for a boat that is functional,” Stevens says. Columbia was a special commission for the small family-owned business. “We are a small part of [ Columbia ] but such a visual part of it,” she says.
She and her staff had to use the Lunenburg community centre to lay the sails after cutting and sawing them in her company’s small loft. “We had a great relationship with the [Canadian craftsmen]. And we are very proud of that,” D’Irsenia says.
Still, there seems to be just a whiff of competition left. While he would like to see a race between Columbia and Bluenose II , D’Isernia says he does not think it will happen. “They have too much to lose and nothing to gain,” he says, but adds that he would love to see them side by side.
The battle of the schooners is well-documented. Dana Story, son of Arthur Dana Story and a boatbuilder and author, contributed Hail Columbia: The Rise and Fall of a Schooner to the extensive library relaying the colourful history. But even with so much written about the schooners, the question remains: Had she been able to compete again, would Columbia have won?
“Before I started construction, ten or twenty years ago, I interviewed Dana for his recollection of his dad and to discuss which American schooner would have been faster,” says D’Isernia. “We came to the conclusion that no one will ever know.”
The modern-day Columbia is designed to reach 17 knots under sail. Sea trials done for her Lloyd’s classification gave her captain a good idea of her potential. “We reached eleven-and-a-half knots with just the four lowers in twenty knots of breeze,” he says. He’ll have more opportunity to put her to the test this summer with a trip to Washington, DC, and, in early September, a homecoming trip to Gloucester for the town’s annual tall ship festival.
Yet for all of that sailing ability, D’Isernia admits he may have had more fun building the new Columbia than sailing her, and Eastern Shipbuilding has already started construction on a second hull with identical lines. Joyner says the project team has worked closely with the companies from Lunenburg to design authentic masts and rigging that are a bit lighter than the set on Columbia .
They’ve managed to shave more than 180kg off the new rig. Michele Stevens Sailloft is again making the sails. The builder will take it slow, so a potential owner of the second schooner can choose the interior layout and finishes.
Eastern has added a new chapter to the story of a famous schooner that had a short four-year history before she sank but is remembered as one of the greats. It took three years to build the new incarnation of Columbia , and with a willing owner her sister ship could set sail before the end of the year.
Competitors and fans of the Fishermen’s Cup probably had no idea that the beauty of the ships they rooted for would keep them sailing well into the 21st century.

America’s Cup: A History in Photos

![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/m123_crop169014_1024x576_proportional_13910044711751.jpg)
In 1851, the schooner America of New York Yacht Club sailed against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in the club’s annual regatta around the Isle of Wight. America finished 8 minutes ahead of the closest rival, securing victory, and beginning what would become one of the longest running competition in sports. in 1857, the Deed of Gift officially donated the America’s Cup to New York Yacht Club ensuring that it be held as a perpetual challenge trophy to promote friendly competition among nations.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/1280px-jsj-024-columbia.jpg)
In 1871, the first official challenge to the America’s Cup came from James Lloyd Ashbury, who had previously beaten the schooner America and was emboldened by his victory. The New York Yacht Club accepted, and the schooner Columbia was chosen to defend, successfully taking the first two races before dismasting. The yacht Sappho was chosen as a replacement and continued to hold off the British challenge in the third and fourth races.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/1280px-jsj-volunteer_turning.jpg)
A new rule governing the design of America’s Cup yachts was drafted in 1885 after a series of Canadian challenges. Irish designer John Webb sent two yachts New York in 1885 and again in 1886 but neither could best the American designs. The final challenge under the New York Yacht Club Rule came in 1887, when Volunteer defended the Cup against the Scottish designed Thistle .
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/1280px-jsj-750-columbia_shamrock_1899.jpg)
In 1889, the New York Yacht Club adopted the Seawanhaka Rating Rule. Over the next several years, Herreshoff designed boats would reign supreme, with Nathanael himself helming Vigilant to victory in 1893. In 1899, Sir James Lipton of Scotland posed the first of a series, racing Shamrock (right) against the already proven Columbia. Columbia , helmed by Charlie Barr, sailed to victory over Lipton, becoming the first yacht to defend the Cup more than once.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/14_19.jpg)
As Cup selection trials were underway for the 1914 challenge, war broke out and the Cup was cancelled, putting the first test of the newly implemented Universal Rule on hold. In 1920, the challenge resumed, with Lipton once again attempting to dethrone the Americans, this time with Shamrock IV . Lipton came the closest anyone had thus far in the event’s history to winning back the cup, winning the first two races, but the Herreshoff designed Resolute staged a comeback and went on to defend the cup for the Americans yet again.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/104421008_8.jpg)
Lipton’s final America’s Cup challenge would come in 1929 in the J-Class. Shamrock V was heavy and outdated compared to Enterprise , which had little trouble in defeating the challenge. In 1934, having purchased Shamrock with the intent of challenging the cup, Sir Thomas Sopwith constructed Endeavor , and subsequently Endeavor II (right) for the challenge, but it was no match for Ranger (left).
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/hood-2-obit-master675.jpg)
Following the second World War, the 12 Meter rule aimed to reduce the costs and ensure racing could continue in a post-war economy. The first unsuccessful challenge came in 1958, 20 years since the previous attempt by Endeavor II in the J-Class, with Columbia defeating the British challenger Sceptre . Over the next 20 years, the US would defend 7 more challenges, including the first Australian entry in 1962. Intrepid (pictured) would become just the second yacht in history to successfully defend the Cup twice, first in 1967, and again in 1970.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/large_p.2261.jpg)
1983 would prove to be a historic and game-changing year for the history of the America’s Cup. Alan Bond, who had made three attempts already at bringing the cup to Australia, returned for a fourth attempt. The design of Australia II ‘s (right) keel was kept secret, and in the end, the infamous winged design would prove effective. Australia II overtook Liberty , despite initial problems, and went on to upend the longest winning streak in the history of sports – 132 years.

The first Cup defended outside of the United States was held in Fremantle Australia in 1987. From an unexpected field of 13 challengers, American Dennis Conner won the right to challenge the Australians through victory in the Louis Vuitton Cup. Conner easily sailed Stars & Stripes 87 to victory, beating Kookaburra III four races to zero, winning the cup back for the Americans.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/ac34-sandiego-02_copy.jpg)
In 1988, an unexpected challenge came from a New Zealand syndicate, which proved to bring about major design changes and controversy never before seen in the America’s Cup. Conner, representing San Diego Yacht Club commissioned a catamaran to respond to the Kiwi challenge, realizing that multihulls were not expressly prohibited by the Deed of Gift. New Zealand’s “Big Boat” design, while cutting edge was inherently disadvantaged against Conner’s catamaran and lost by a significant margin.
After the race, controversy over the legality of the design in the Deed of Gift, and whether or not the spirit of “friendly competition” had been violated was rampant. Challenger Michael Fay took San Diego Yacht Club to court over the matter and was awarded the trophy in the ruling. The decision, however, was overruled and the cup was returned to the Americans.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/5468839219_650abe7550_b.jpg)
After the controversial 1988 Cup, a new design rule was put in place, and the International America’s Cup Class was born. From 1992 to 2007, the Cup changed hands regularly, with strong teams fielded by Italy, New Zealand and Australia. In the 1995 Cup in San Diego (pictured), New Zealand, skippered by Russel Coutts, scored their first victory, defeating Dennis Conner 5-0.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/bmwo-al-r1-ac33-gmr-0447-2.jpg)
2010 brought more significant design changes to the cup, with BMW Oracle Racing challenging Alinghi in a battle of massive multihulls. BMW Oracle chose a trimaran with a rigid wing sail, similar to the sail used by Conner in the 1988 cup, while Alinghi chose traditional sails for their catamaran. The rigid wing proved to give BMW a significant advantage, and the Cup once again returned to the US.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/m430_crop169014_1024x576_proportional_1414666067299b.jpg)
The 34th America’s Cup in 2013 brought about more changes to the America’s Cup class, with the defender, Oracle Team USA opting for the use of 72 foot catamarans for the racing on San Francisco Bay. The catamarans proved again to be a point of controversy over costs limiting the ability of teams to pose challenges, and the risk associated with the new, faster and more dangerous boats. Twice during training, major accidents occurred, and new safety regulations were put in place to ensure the safety of athletes.
Emirates Team New Zealand won the right to challenge Oracle in the finals, after defeating Artemis Racing and Luna Rossa in the Louis Vuitton Cup. In the final, New Zealand started strong, taking a commanding 8-1 lead, but the constant changes to crew and modifications to the boat allowed Oracle Team USA to fine tune their performance and turn the tide in their favor. In an epic comeback, Oracle overturned their 7 win deficit to beat Emirates Team New Zealand and secure the cup for America one again.
![columbia sailboat america's cup America's Cup](https://www.cruisingworld.com/uploads/2021/09/17192282_1623952154296497_4869023459284247319_o-1024x658.jpg)
For the 35th America’s Cup in Bermuda, teams agreed to cut costs and improve safety and accessibility by reducing the size of the boats to just 50 feet. Training vessels were allowed, and the AC45F, a smaller, lighter foiling catamaran was selected as the platform for the America’s Cup World Series during 2016-2017. Teams have now launched their final race boats and training has begun for the start of the qualifier series.
In July, 5 teams will meet in Bermuda to battle for the right to challenge Oracle Team USA and determine the fate of the cup until the next challenge.

Will Kiwis rewrite America’s Cup history?
Published on August 6th, 2024 by Editor -->
As the Defenders of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand are obviously eager to hold onto the trophy. Never afraid to do something different, this is a team where everybody’s opinion and input counts in the search of boatspeed. If it doesn’t make the boat go faster, don’t say it.
Within this team backdrop is a deep-rooted culture of continual improvement and there have been no signs of resting on laurels or past performance. Much of the on-water drive has come from a team of coaches and performance analysts, led from the front by Ray Davies (above), now into his seventh America’s Cup campaign across a variety of roles.
As a legendary sailor (and winner) of the Whitbread Round the World Race and Volvo Ocean Race, Davies has competed in the Cup both in the afterguard as well as in shoreside and coaching roles so has a unique perspective that is highly regarded and respected.
He’s a popular and ever-present member of the team, always seen out on the water, on the boats prepping sails, rigging and de-rigging whilst, crucially, setting the daily structure for the sailors to achieve their very best within.
![columbia sailboat america's cup](https://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Scuttlebutt-Banner-Ad-TC.png)
However, Davies is quick to acknowledge the ‘team’ approach to coaching. “There are a number of us in the coaching team, I am leaning hard on our backup sailors Josh Junior and Sam Meech and of course the likes of Elise Beavis, Richard Meacham Kim Simperingham, Ash Draper and Roger Badham are all integral in ensuring we are covering the vital rolls that embrace the ‘coaching’ of an America’s Cup team.
“From a racing standpoint, in the America’s Cup there a two main factors, your boat and your crew, each category can be broken down into many aspects, from a crew standpoint we have used our two AC40s for practice race sessions, and our simulator, and as a team improved a lot since AC36 in Auckland.
“As far as the boat goes, well it’s a technology race broken down into many aspects, all teams would have faster boats with more time, so it’s also a management game making the right decisions throughout the campaign, pushing the limits, so it’s a very challenging balance. Also ensuring you have a reliable boat that can compete across a wide range of conditions, between the boat and crew, this is the tougher battle as it requires a huge amount of work between the sailors, designers and shore crew.”
Now with gloves-off racing about to begin, Emirates Team New Zealand are itching to get racing in the Preliminary Regatta where, for the first time, they will start to see the level of the competition. Will they be tailoring their style for different teams?
“Absolutely, this is a big focus from now until race one of the America’s Cup, as we are just getting to a point when the challengers will be locked into their configurations, and we will see how they race their AC75 in anger. We will have notes in our playbook for each team.”
Those notes will be scribbled frantically as the coaching team assess and analyze the pre-starts where everyone is eyeing an immediate advantage. It’s an area that Emirates Team New Zealand have worked super-hard on both back in Auckland in their AC40s and in the AC75 in Barcelona.
“The prestart is actually a very important part of the race. If you can come off the line with an advantage or in control, then you can capitalize on this from the outset, i.e. heading to more wind and therefore extending the advantage.
“From that point, it’s up to you to lose the race, and the other boat must stay close and apply as much pressure as possible to force a mistake/or have a faster boat… the time to the first boundary is really short so you can’t rely on speed to get you into the lead.”
Something that was noted throughout the period of the Joint Reconnaissance period was the concentration on maintaining speed and height out of the tacks plus rapid exit speeds and tight angles on the gybes downwind. These areas are where the crucial inches are gained.
“These are tight courses that require a lot of maneuvers. We are racing for inches to get control of the race, and then you can lose meters in a maneuver if you’re not working in precise harmony balancing the boat as you transfer the huge loads from one side of the boat to the other, in a couple of seconds, then accelerating back to full speed.”
Just how comfortable the Kiwi helms and trimmers are in moding the boat to the conditions is an area where they have always excelled but it’s still a work in progress and the work is never done.
“We are very comfortable, however, the challenge is also learning how to sail when conditions vary throughout the day or race, so you really have to be all over your targets and your sail setups, to get you through the ever-changing wind field.
“The class rules have us locking in with our foils and rudders, the biggest tool we have during racing is the engine (sails). These are what pushes the boats forward, everything else slows the boat down, so you are constantly aiming for the correct balance of the aerodynamic forces between the jib and mainsail, to provide maximum forward thrusts or sideways in the very light air to keep flying, it’s a difficult job with a lot of seconds on the table.”
How confident are they in their design and sailing technique?
“Well, I don’t think any team is ever going to feel comfortable that they will have a performance edge, certainly in all conditions, there are just too many opposing factors in hydrodynamics to have the optimal boat in all conditions. Our sailors and design team are confident we can squeeze out every potential second in our boat across the wind range, but some boats will have their sweet spots, it’s about having more of those than your opponent.”

The Columbia was the defender of the tenth America's Cup race in 1899 against British challenger Shamrock as well as the defender of the eleventh America's Cup race in 1901 against British challenger, Shamrock II. It was the first vessel to win the trophy twice in a row (a record not equaled until the Intrepid's back-to-back wins in 1967 and 1970.)
The Columbia, a fin keel sloop, was designed and built in 1898-9 by Nathanael Herreshoff and the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company for owners J. Pierpont Morgan and Edwin D. Morgan of the New York Yacht Club. It was the third winning defender built by Herreshoff. The Columbia had a nickel steel frame, a tobin bronze hull, and a steel mast (later replaced with one of Oregon pine.)
Columbia was launched on June 10, 1899. It easily won the elimination trials against the rebuilt former defender, Defender. Skippered by Charlie Barr, it won all three races against the British defender, Shamrock in the 1899 America's Cup.
The Columbia was selected again in 1901 to defend the Cup, and again under the command of Charlie Barr, won all three races against Shamrock II. In 1903 Columbia was refitted with the hope of being selected for a third time, but it was badly beaten in the selection trials by the yacht Reliance. The Columbia was cut up for scrap in 1913 at City Island.
