EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Finish, Columbia on the line, Sept. 28, 1901,' captures the thrilling moment of the America's Cup race between the yachts Columbia and Shamrock II. The image was taken at the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, USA, during the 1901 regatta. The scene is dominated by the Columbia, designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, as it crosses the finish line, with the Shamrock II in the background. The boats are sailing close to the shore, with the water reflecting the sun's rays and creating a stunning contrast against the dark silhouettes of the vessels. The photograph was taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, and the details of the boats, their sails, and the crew members are remarkably clear. The competition between Columbia and Shamrock II was intense, with Columbia emerging as the winner, securing its place in the history of yachting. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of sailing as a sport.
