DescriptionIDOTHEA was built by R Stephens for HC Press's hire fleet in 1888, and raced with the Port Jackson Sailing Club (IS). The date on the image of 14 March was a Wednesday, so if this date is correct they were out sailing on a weekday, not racing. They had won the race the previous Saturday run by the East Sydney Sailing Club (IS).
