EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Defender, Valkyrie III, 1895 Sept 7," was captured by renowned photographer Johns Johnston on September 7, 1895. The image depicts the Defender, a renowned sailing yacht, during the America's Cup regatta held in the United States. The America's Cup is the world's oldest international sailing competition, and the Defender was the American yacht that successfully defended the trophy against the British challenger, Valkyrie III, captained by Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone. The photograph captures the essence of the 1890s leisure activities, showcasing the elegance and grandeur of yachting as a popular pastime for the affluent class. The sailboats, including the Defender and Valkyrie III, are docked in a serene body of water, with a geographical feature visible in the background, adding to the scenic beauty of the image. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size, and is now a part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress. The image is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of sailing as a sport and mode of transportation. The Defender's victory in the regatta was a source of national pride, and this photograph encapsulates the spirit of competition and camaraderie that defines the America's Cup.
