Built in 1903, Atlantic's greatest claim to fame came in 1905 when she was one of eleven yachts to compete for the Emperor's Cup put up by Kaiser Wilhelm for a race between New York and Lizard Head, England. Atlantic's professional captain Charles Barr,a veteran of America's Cup campaigns in Columbia (1899 and 1901) and Reliance (1903), drove the powerful schooner through a violent gale to a crossing in 12 days, 4 hours. Her 348-mile day's run on May 23-24 has never been bettered, and her overall time was not beaten until 1968

During World War I, Marshall publicly smashed the Emperor's Cup with the intent of donating the gold to the Red Cross; it turned out to be gold-plated pewter worth about $35.

Sold to James Cox Bradley, Atlantic saw duty as a subchaser tender, and after World War I she was sold to Cornelius Vanderbilt. Atlantic did little racing thereafter and in World War II she was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard for use in antisubmarine duty. Following the war she was brought to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for sail training.
