Another mystery is the history of this stylish Art Deco silver trophy – ‘The Thomas Lipton National Canadian Regatta Hydroplane Cup, 1929’. Thomas Lipton is well known for his five attempts to win the America’s Cup in a series of yachts called ‘Shamrock’. This trophy, however, has the most beautiful motor boat powering through the waves beneath the flags of Canada and the United Kingdom. Intriguing.
