Dauntless at the Connecticut River Museum
The Connecticut River Museum’s painting of the famous 1887
Ocean Yacht race between the Coronet and Dauntless painted by famed maritime artist
Antonio Jacobsen. The race is well known in yachting lore – a private $10,000 contest
between two wealthy members of the New York Yacht Club.
The Schooner Yachts Dauntless and Coronet will soon be on display at the Museum.
The painting was purchased through funds from the Brenda Milkofsky Curatorial Trust.
