EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Gloriana, June 16, 1891, The," showcases the elegant yacht "Gloriana" as it gracefully sails on the tranquil water surface. The image, believed to be a dry plate or glass negative, was created in the late 19th century, around the time when nautical pursuits were becoming increasingly popular in America. The yacht, named after Queen Gloriana of the United Kingdom, was designed by the renowned naval architect Nathanael Greene Herreshoff. Herreshoff was a pioneer in the field of yacht design and construction, known for his innovative approaches to speed and efficiency. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, captures the "Gloriana" in full profile, revealing its sleek lines and impressive design. The yacht is shown sailing on a calm body of water, with a few small islands or geographical features visible in the distance. The image exudes a sense of heritage and nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when leisurely sailing was a cherished pastime. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, and was likely taken by an unknown photographer, possibly William A. Livingstone or Edwin H. Husher, both of whom were known to have worked with Detroit Publishing Company during this time. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of the American waterways and the nautical traditions that continue to captivate us today.
