PICTURES OF YESTERYEAR - Managed by PPL PHOTO AGENCY Circa 1886 AmericaÕs Cup. : the menagerie Mrs Henn took aboard her husbandÕs yacht, GALATEA, when Lt William Henn challenged for the 1886 AmericaÕs Cup. There were several dogs, a raccoon, and a pet monkey called Peggy. According to one newspaper Peggy could pull on a halyard, and she always helped the crew to make and lower sail. This did not help the British challenger to beat the American defender, MAYFLOWER, which won the series 2:0. PHOTO CREDIT: Ian Dear Archive/PPL
