EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement of the 1891 September regatta hosted by the Yacht Racing Association [association] in the United States. The image, titled "Henry Dauer, May F. and Homing, view at start," was taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in. The scene shows three sailboats, Henry Dauer, May F., and Homing, preparing for the race at the start line. The boats are docked at a pier, surrounded by the calm blue water of a serene body of water. The sailors on board are focused and alert, ready to set sail and compete against each other. The photograph offers a glimpse into the leisurely pastime of yachting during the 1890s in America. The boats, with their elegant sails and sleek designs, epitomize the wealth and status of their owners. The regatta was likely a highly anticipated event in the community, bringing together competitors from various parts of the country to showcase their sailing skills and the prowess of their boats. The photograph also highlights the picturesque geography of the location, with the boats docked against a backdrop of lush greenery and a clear blue sky. The image has been preserved in the Library of Congress, a testament to the historical significance of yachting as a popular sport and recreational activity in the United States during the nineteenth century. The photograph was taken by Johns Johnston, a prolific photographer known for his work documenting various aspects of American life during the late 1800s. Johnston's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects have made his work an invaluable resource for historians and researchers studying the past.
