This pictorial history was created for the 1992 America’s Cup, which was held in San Diego, California. Sailing in San Diego offers a window to view America’s Cup History and San Diego’s celebrated sailing history. Photographic collections from top-tier marine photographers, the San Diego History Center, San Diego Yacht Club and the Maritime Museum of San Diego archives fill in a valuable history of championship sailing, boatbuilders, yacht designers, entrepreneurs and dynamic companies— all reflecting a vibrant city with a long history of oceanic firsts, going back to 1542 and the arrival of the first European ships.
