Cabin Cats After Start, 1898 July 30
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing photograph capturing the excitement and energy of a sailboat regatta in the late 19th century America. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, was captured using a dry plate glass negative with dimensions of 8 x 10 inches. The photograph is part of the extensive collection held at the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich historical heritage of the United States. The scene is set on a serene body of water, with several sailboats in various stages of starting a race. The boats, with their sails fully hoisted and billowing in the wind, cut through the water with a grace and agility that speaks to the skill and determination of their crews. In the foreground, two cabin cats, small sailboats with living quarters, are in the midst of starting their engines, their white sails contrasting sharply against the dark water and the black hulls of the boats. The photograph also captures the diverse crew, with both white and black sailors present, reflecting the multicultural nature of the sport in the United States during this era. The photograph, titled "Cabin Cats After Start, 1898 July 30," is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when sailing was a popular pastime and a means of transportation. The image invites us to imagine the thrill of the race, the camaraderie among the crews, and the sense of adventure that came with being out on the water. With its timeless quality and historical significance, this photograph is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of America, sailing, or photography.
