Alcedo, 1890 July 12: A Captivating Moment in American Yachting History This photograph, titled 'Alcedo, 1890 July 12,' was taken by the renowned American photographer Johns Johnston. The image transports us back to the 1890s, an era of leisurely pursuits and competitive spirit, particularly in the realm of yachting. The photograph depicts a thrilling moment during a regatta, likely held on the waters of the United States. Several sailboats, their sails billowing in the wind, race against each other, their hulls cutting through the water with determination. The boats, with their elegant designs and meticulously crafted sails, exude an air of sophistication and wealth. The image also showcases the diverse group of men participating in this pastime. Some are focused intently on their boats, while others cheer and wave from the shore. The contrast between the white and black crew members underscores the inclusive nature of the sport, which transcended racial boundaries. The geographical feature in the background is not immediately identifiable, but the setting sun and the tranquil water add to the serene atmosphere of the scene. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Johns Johnston. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of heritage art that offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and the simple joy of sailing on the American waters.
