Vanderbilt Cup Races

Following a formal divorce in 1927 (after more than 29 years of separation) from his first wife Virginia Graham Fair, William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. married Rosamund Lancaster Warburton in Paris on September 5, 1927. She was previously married to Barclay Harding Warburton II, an heir to the John Wanamaker fortune.

Rosamund and Willie K. traveled throughout the world in their yachts and seaplane. As seen below their journeys were often captured in news photo clips.
