The 1895 America's Cup occurred just two years after the 1893 America's Cup[2] pitting the New York Yacht Club against the Royal Yacht Squadron. The 1895 race was between the Herreshoff designed sloop Defender owned by Charles Oliver Iselin, William Kissam Vanderbilt, and Edwin Dennison Morgan from the New York Yacht Club, and the Watson[3] designed Valkyrie III owned by Lord Dunraven of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
