IIMS President gifts two picture canvases to the Institute


Following his election as President earlier in the year, Peter Broad spent some weeks in the UK before his return to South Korea. On one of his visits to the Head Office he brought with him two canvases of great historical family interest taken from original artworks and presented them to Mike Schwarz, IIMS CEO. The works of art are now proudly displayed in the offices and IIMS is grateful to Peter for his generous gesture.


Helpfully, Peter has supplied some background detail about the two pictures.


“SHAMROCK V” was an original pencil sketch drawn by Joyce Jefferies, an art teacher at Portsmouth High School for Girls. She managed to walk into the Camper and Nicholson yard and sketch the ‘Shamrock V’


under construction in 1930. Joyce Jefferies was Peter Broad’s maternal Grandmother.

History of Shamrock V


In 1929: Sir Thomas Lipton, owner of Lipton Tea, decided to challenge for the America’s Cup for what was to be his fifth and final time. He commissioned naval architect, Charles E. Nicholson, with the task of designing Shamrock V. She was built at Camper and Nicholson Shipyard in Gosport, UK. Shamrock V was the first J-Class yacht to be commissioned and built in the UK. She was constructed of teak planking over steel frames and boasted a hollow spruce spar.


Shamrock V launched in April 1930, and promptly won 15 of 22 races on the British regatta circuit. Then Lipton and crew sailed her across the Atlantic to challenge the New York Yacht Club for the 14th America’s Cup. Over 31 years and five attempts at the Cup, Sir Thomas Lipton endeared himself to the American public and made his tea famous in the process. Lipton was a self-made man, born into poverty in Glasgow. Americans appreciated his grit
