A series about sailing ships that have survived. 3: Shamrock V
One of the remaining examples of the 'J' class yachts and one of the loveliest sailing ships ever built. She was originally commissioned by the millionaire,
Sir Thomas Lipton , in the early 1930s in his final attempt to win the America's Cup for Britain.
Now restored, this time by an Italian millionaire, she is, once again, a 'greyhound of the sea'.
