The good life unfolds on sea and land.
Sails furled, a pleasure fleet anchors in
Newport Harbor off Beacon Rock, home
of Mr. and Mrs. Felix de Weldon. The
mansion, built between 1889 and 1891
for yachtsman Edwin D. Morgan, shows
classical Greek influence in its court and
marble columns.
Ida Lewis Yacht Club, on the spit at
upper right, takes its name from a
doughty spinster lighthouse keeper who
in the late 1800's earned fame for her
many daring rescues in stormy seas. The
light is now part of the clubhouse.
 Duel at sea: The Australian challenger for the America's Cup, Dame Pattie, cuts the
choppy waves of Rhode Island Sound as she tries to overtake the United States defender,
Intrepid. The American yacht defeated Dame Pattie by almost six minutes in the initial
28-mile race and swept the series with four consecutive victories in September, 1967.
Newport has played host to the 117-year-old classic since 1930.
