Descended through the family of William Griscom Coxe, a shipbuilder (1868 - 1927), to whom the cup was presented. During the Russo-Japanese War, Coxe delivered to the Czar ships from the fleet of William Cramp & Sons Shipbuilding Company of Philadelphia. After 1910, Coxe moved from the East to the West Coast. For further information on Coxe;s career, there is an obituary in the New York Times.
