The $100,000 Tiffany Trophy That Sat in a Vault for 135 Years
Van Nostrand Ice Boat Challenge 2026
The Navesink River froze solid in February 2026 for the first time in over twenty years. Thousands came out to skate, play hockey, and witness something most of us have never seen — 130-year-old wooden ice boats racing for the Van Nostrand Cup, a Tiffany silver trophy created in 1886 and only contested four times in 135 years.
