Sir Thomas Lipton Standing With the Crew of the Ship 'The Shamrock', 1920. 'Even in those days of fabulous personal fortunes, only the odd millionaire could afford to build and sail such graceful boats as the Shamrock. The Shamrock was the plaything of a tea millionaire, Sir Thomas Lipton. His idea of celebrating the new-found peace was to take his yacht across to the United States to win back the Americas Cup'. From "Time To Remember - The Plunge Into Peace", 1920 (Reel 4); events of 1920 - weddings, women's rights, industrial unrest and problems in Ireland
