The article says "In August 1870, the Mercury was in Newport, Rhode Island, to attend the America's Cup competition". However, the article on the 1870 America's Cup states that "The course of the race was from the Club House, Staten Island, N.Y. around the S.W. Spit to and the light ship off Sandy Hook and back, 40 miles." In other words, that the race was near New York Harbor. What's up? Which, if any, of these is correct?

I don't know much about the competition, but that article's infobox says the competition was located it Newport. It would be good if someone could clarify where it took place on the 1870 America's Cup article. Ergo Sum15:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
