Colonia, 1899 June 20: A Scene of Leisure and Competition on the American Waterfront This photograph, taken by Johns Johnston on June 20, 1899, captures the spirit of leisure and competition that defined the American waterfront during the late 19th century. The image, titled 'Colonia,' depicts a bustling harbor filled with various boats and ships, including sailboats and schooners. At the center of the photograph, a regatta is underway, with several yachts racing against each other, their sails billowing in the wind. The boats, some manned by white crews and others by black, demonstrate the diverse community that gathered around the waterfront for this pastime. The geographical feature in the background, likely a peninsula or a point, adds to the picturesque scene, with its lush greenery and picturesque houses. The image is a testament to the importance of water transport and the role it played in connecting communities and fostering friendly competition. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative process on glass, 8 x 10 inches in size. It is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection and a reminder of the rich history and heritage of America's maritime past. The photograph was taken by Johns Johnston, a skilled photographer who captured many scenes of American life during the late 19th century. This image, in particular, was taken on the same day as another photograph of the same location, taken by Edwin H. Husher, which further highlights the importance of this moment in history. The photograph is now part of the collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and value as a record of American history and culture.
