Cup in London
NZPA London The America’s Cup, en route to Australia, arrived in London yesterday for the first time in 135 years. The coveted yachting trophy was unveiled' in London at the Qantas office in Bond Street, on its way to
the Royal Perth Yacht Club in Australia, after the club’s 12 metre yacht Australia II won it last week-end.
The Company of Royal Silversmiths, which originally made the cup in 1848 for the Royal Yacht Squadron, was on the spot to authenticate the cup’s date.
