Vol. 64, No. 2 Summer 2019 166 Appendix B


A printed label, pasted on the rear of the damaged half-model’s baseboard, reads:


Invader won the Prince of Wales Cup in 1902, against ten other starters, on Coronation Day, Aug. 9th


a trophy off ered by the Mail and Empire for all yachts on June 28th


, and, more spectacularly still, of the same year. T e


wind was very light at the start. Mr. Geo. H. Gooderham, Invader’s owner, went aboard alone, except for his sailingmaster from the Clorita, Billy Fisher. T e pair of them made sail and got Invader going, having to thread their way through the whole fl eet, which had already started. Many minutes aſt er gunfi re, Invader crossed the line and joined the others in their driſt ing match. T e wind freshened, she got her share of it, and in the end romped across the fi nish line a winner of the trophy by a handsome margin. Twenty yachts competed in the race.
