EDITORS COMMENTS
Gloriana, June 23, 1891: A Timeless Nautical Moment Frozen in Black and White This photograph, titled "Gloriana, June 23, 1891," transports us back to a bygone era of American maritime history. The image, captured on a dry plate or glass negative, was likely taken by an unknown photographer on June 23, 1891. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the rich heritage of nautical activities that once thrived in the United States. The photograph depicts the sailing yacht Gloriana, a beautiful vessel designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, as it gracefully cuts through the water. The yacht, with its elegant lines and sleek design, is surrounded by a crew of determined men, all focused on their tasks. The background is filled with the hustle and bustle of activity, as other boats and ships can be seen in the distance. The geographical feature in the background is not immediately identifiable, but the image exudes a sense of tranquility and adventure. The weather appears fair, with clear skies and a calm sea. The photograph, with its high contrast and intricate details, is a metaphor for the enduring allure of the sea and the spirit of exploration that has long been a part of the American experience. The photograph is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the importance of preserving our nation's heritage. It is a reminder of the rich history of sailing and transportation in the United States, and the role that companies like Detroit Publishing Co. played in documenting and disseminating these images to the public. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document that tells a story of a time and place that continues to captivate and inspire us.
