Hales trophy
| Морской словарь |
In 1934—hoping to encourage innovation in ocean passenger transport and to provide a more tangible token than the ephemeral blue riband—british parliamentarian, engineer, and entrepreneur harold keates hales commissioned a handsome souvenir to be awarded to “the ship which shall for the time being have crossed the atlantic ocean at the highest average speed.” made of solid silver and heavy gilt, the trophy weighs almost 100 pounds (45 kgs) and stands some four feet (122 cms) high on an onyx base. it consists of a globe upheld by two winged figures symbolizing victory and surmounted by a figure representing speed pushing a triple-stacked liner against the forces of nature. it also features statues of neptune and amphitrite together with models of old galleons and modern vessels. in 1979, united states lines (which had held the trophy since 1952) went into bankruptcy and donated it to the merchant marine academy museum at kings point, long island. in 1990, however, it was claimed by the british hoverspeed great britain which had achieved an average speed of 36.65 knots, beating the ss united states’ 1952 record by more than a knot. the museum and the maritime community initially denied the demand on grounds that hoverspeed was a ferry without accommodation for overnight passengers. however, to avoid a costly legal battle, the museum eventually relinquished the trophy. hoverspeed held the award for eight years until 1998, when spanish high-speed ferry catalonia won it with an average speed of 38.877 knots. six weeks later, and in spite of a two-hour diversion to assist a search and rescue operation, the danish high-speed ferry cat- link v took it with an average speed of 41.284 knots. all three of the recent winners were australian built. for over a decade, the merchant marine museum nostalgically displayed the empty glass case that had previously held the trophy, but it was re-filled in 2002 when carnival cruise lines provided an exact replica to be held on permanent loan.
