Ireland s Eight America s Cup Challenges Are Now Remote History
27th February 2021
No longer at the races……The AC75 American Magic at an early stage of the selection trials for the current 2021 series, when she seemed well able to cope with awkward seas. But she was actually in smoother water some weeks later when she became airborne in squally weather on starboard tack, and in crashing back to sea level, the port foil snapped like a stick of celery, holing the hull
When the low black schooner America won what was to become an historic race around the Isle of Wight on Friday 22nd August 1851 from a small fleet of varied English yachts, thereby winning a silver ewer which was eventually to become The America s Cup, the British Empire was approaching its world-girdling all-powerful peak. As for the United States of America, they were expanding with such vigour that they overcame a destructive Civil War ten years later to enter an era of such growth and strength that inevitab
By the time you read this, I will be dead. No wait, I mean, CBS All Access will have released the final episode of
The Stand, their new miniseries based on Stephen King s epic pot-apocalyptic novel of good versus evil. And to mangle T.S. Eliot, rather than with a bang, this regrettable adaptation has gone out like a wet fart.

Description
A superb example of the finest and most important large-scale maps of Georgia ever produced, this is Emmanuel Bowen s 1748 map of the colony of Georgia, considered the first obtainable specific map of that region.
