    Mona was one of two British boats brought over the States to represent the Royal Motor Yacht Club of Great Britain in the competition for the Harmsworth Trophy (or Cup) in 1912. Here is Wikipedia article on the Harmsworth Cup en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmsworth_Trophy Here is another LoC/Flickr photo of Mona and some background info: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2369116160/ Some NYTimes articles: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D0DE0DB113AE6... The British won the race, specifically the Maple Leaf boat won, Mona unfortunately broke down and caught on fire. www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2830860168/?edi... NY Times article (August 4, 1912) query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9B05E... This article mentions two competitors for the Harmsworth Trophy including Montague Batting, the designer of the Mona, owned by the Marquis of Anglesea.. "Mr. Batting said that Mona was 26 feet long and had an 8 cyclinder Wolsely engine." Mr. Batting was to pilot tthe Mona in the race, competing against Tom Sopwith the English aviator, piloting Maple Leaf IV. another NYTimes article mentions Mr. Batting also: At Henley, Classic Boats To Cherish By WENDY MOONAN Published: July 2, 1999 Among motor boat enthusiasts, the vintage launch has always been the queen of the waterways... The rarest boat in the sale, Mr. Klein said, is Batboat II, a 21-foot-long hydroplane lake racing boat built in 1912 that is named for its British designer, Montague Batting. ''They didn't build very many of them, and they stopped making them in 1915, so few survive,'' Mr. Willis said. Created for the British International Trophy Races, Batboat II has a mahogany deck with an open cockpit fitted with a mahogany bench seat. The boat finished first in the 1913 trials, and was then sent to America where, Mr. Klein said, ''She was used for rum running on the Hudson River during Prohibition.'' Estimate: $9,500 to $14,250. query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A05E5D6173DF931A... Batting"&st=cse
