G.A. Henty
The Queen's Cup
G.A. Henty’s "The Queen's Cup" is a fast-paced adventure and mystery novel set in the world of English high society and yachting. The story follows a heroic and resourceful young gentleman, likely a naval officer or a skilled sailor, who is framed for a terrible crime he did not commit, such as theft or treason. The title refers to a prestigious yachting trophy—the Queen's Cup—which becomes a central element of the plot. The protagonist's name is cleared, but the true villain, a ruthless and wealthy rival, escapes justice. This antagonist may also be a suitor for the hand of the heroine, whom the protagonist loves. To finally expose the villain and win the day, the hero must challenge him on the water. The climax of the novel is a high-stakes yacht race for the Queen's Cup itself. The race is not just for sporting glory, but a duel of seamanship and wits, where the hero must overcome not only his skilled opponent but also the villain’s underhanded tactics and sabotage. G.A. Henty fills the narrative with accurate details of sailing, the excitement of the race, and the opulent world of the Victorian elite, creating a satisfying tale of dishonor avenged, justice secured, and love won through courage and skill on the high seas.
