Synopsis

Edison summary: Through the courtesy of Commander Hebbinghum (I. G. N.) we were accorded the special privilege of taking pictures of the race for the Ocean Cup from the deck of the Committee Boat Vigilant. All the yachts pass close before the camera, giving a beautiful picture of this noteworthy international event. The different yachts are readily recognized. The jockeying before the start is first shown. The start then follows, showing the Ailsa, the first yacht across the line, followed by the Hildegarde and the Atlantic. The huge British yacht Valhalla narrowly averts a collision with several of the yachts, and the danger and excitement on board the yachts is shown in the picture. The entire film is beautifully pro-tinted.
