This stunning photograph, titled "Fleet of N.Y.Y.C. [New York Yacht Club], Glencove, 1897 Aug 2," captures a serene moment in American maritime history. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, the image beautifully depicts a fleet of sailboats and steam launches anchored at Glencove, New York, on August 2, 1897.
