Original gouache on rag paper. Signed and annotated .2 Ann�e - No. 260. 40 x 35 cm. .Cr�� au XIXe si�cle par les compagnies maritimes transatlantiques, ce troph�e �tait d�cern� au navire le plus rapide sur l'Atlantique et a fait les gros titres de la presse au XXe si�cle. C'est le cas en 1912 avec le naufrage du Titanic, dont l'origine de la catastrophe est dans sa volont� de conqu�rir le titre alors d�tenu par le Mauretania. C'est encore le cas en 1930, lorsque le Normandie d�croche le titre dans le sens aller, puis retour. Le dernier paquebot d�tenteur est am�ricain : l'United States en 1952. Depuis, seuls des catamarans ont remport� le � Hales Trophy �L'histoire de ce troph�e, c'est avant tout une course au record entre compagnies maritimes, mais �galement une course au prestige. C'est �galement une histoire tr�s nazairienne : lan�ant sur les oc�ans � des r�ves en acier � Saint-Nazaire est fi�re de hisser au grand m�t la belle �tamine bleue de ce record de vitesse.Histoire du � Ruban bleu � devenu le � Hales Trophy �.Provenance: Maison G�rald Richard, Villefranche sur Sa�ne, France.
