EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Detroit Boat Club yacht regatta, just after the start, between 1900 and 1910. The image captures the excitement and energy of the event as several sailboats, belonging to the Detroit Boat Club, race against each other on the shimmering water. The boats, with their sails fully hoisted, cut through the water with determination and grace. In the background, the Detroit skyline can be seen, adding a sense of place and context to the scene. The Detroit Boat Club, established in 1883, was a prominent social and recreational organization in Detroit, Michigan, during the early 20th century. Members of the club were known for their love of sailing and yachting, and the regatta was an annual event that drew large crowds and participants. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a testament to the pastime's popularity during this era. It is believed that the photograph was taken by either Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were active photographers during this time. This image, now part of the Library of Congress collection, is a valuable piece of American heritage art that transports us back to a time when leisure activities like sailing were a cherished part of the American way of life. The photograph's timeless quality and the sense of history it evokes make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Detroit, sailing, or the early 20th century.
