EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Defender, 1895 Aug 2, c1895," was captured by the skilled lens of Johns Johnston. The image depicts a thrilling sailing regatta taking place in the United States during the late 19th century. The main focus of the photograph is the powerful yacht named "Defender," proudly flying its American flag. The yacht is skillfully maneuvered by its crew, with the determined expression of its helmsman, Edwin H. Husher, evident on his face. The serene water reflects the sun-kissed sky, creating a stunning contrast between the calm geographical feature and the dynamic activity taking place on it. The sailboats, including the Defender, cut through the water with grace and speed, showcasing the beauty and power of sailing as a popular pastime during this era. The regatta appears to be a fierce competition, with the boats vying for the lead. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass with dimensions of 8 x 10 inches, is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress. This historical image not only captures the essence of the American spirit and the country's rich maritime heritage but also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of sailing and racing as cherished activities. William A. Livingstone, an accomplished yachtsman, may have also been present at the regatta, as he was known for his involvement in the sailing community during this time. This photograph is a timeless reminder of the allure of the sea, the thrill of competition, and the beauty of the past.
