FRAMED.WILLIAM GAY YORKE, New York/Canada/England, 1817-c. 1888, Dauntless and Mohawk racing, October 26, 1875. Dimensions: Oil on canvas, 25.75" x 36". Framed. Provenance: Christie's, February 2004.Hyland Granby Antiques, Hyannisport, Massachusetts, purchased by the Kelton Foundation.The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.In the fall of 1875 a series of match races were held for New York Yacht Club members. On October 26, Vice Commodore William T. Garner in his schooner Mohawk raced against ex-Commodore James Gordon Bennett in his schooner Dauntless. The course was 20 miles to windward to the Sandy Hook Lightship and return, and the prize was $1,000 per side, winner take all. In a strong sou'easter, Mohawk, a centerboard schooner, out-sailed Dauntless to windward but Dauntless caught and passed her downwind despite breaking a fore gaff. Mohawk failed to find the finish line in the fog that plagued the race.Dauntless was designed by J.B. van Deusen and was built in 1866 at Mystic, Connecticut by Forsyth & Morgan (later modified in 1870). She had principal dimensions of 120'-9" LOA, 24'-9" beam and 12' draft. The Mohawk was designed and built by J.B van Deusen in 1875 at Williamsburg, New York for Garner. She had principal dimensions of 140' LOA, 30' beam, and a 6' draft with the centerboard up.On July 20, 1876, Garner, a young man, had the misfortune to die aboard Mohawk when a sudden squall capsized her while at anchor with all of her sails set and made fast. He died trying to save his wife, who was trapped by sliding furniture. She also lost her life, as well as a number of other people on board. The sinking of this yacht was the subject of considerable discussion within the yachting community with regard to design and safety aboard these large schooners.
