}}Charles Oliver Iselin (June 8, 1854 – January 1, 1932) was an American banker and yachtsman who was captain of racing yachts that won the America's Cup three times.[1]

Early life

He was the son of Adrian Georg Iselin and Eleanora O Donnell Iselin. His great great-grandfather Isaac Iselin came to America in 1801 from Basel, Switzerland, where the Iselin's had been merchants, public officials, and military and professional men since the 14th century. Isaac amassed a large fortune in the importing business, and his descendants became private bankers and philanthropists in New York City and New Rochelle, New York.

Yachting

Charles was considered to be one of the greatest American Yachtsmen of his time, participating in and winning six consecutive America's Cup races: 1887, 1893, 1895, 1899, 1901 and 1903.[1] He built a large breakwater next to his Premium Point, New Rochelle estate All View so that he could dock his yachts Defender, Reliance and Columbia safely at home.[2]

Personal life

Iselin was first married Fannie Garner (1861–1890). After her death, he married Edith Hope Goddard (1868–1970), who was the first woman ever to serve as part of the crew on an America's Cup yacht, in 1894.[3]

Iselin died on January 1, 1932 at Glen Head on Long Island.[4]
