EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch photograph, dated July 15, 1889, captures the Mayflower, an iconic American sailing vessel, as it was then rigged as a schooner. The Mayflower gained international fame in 1886 when it won the America's Cup, the world's oldest international sailing trophy, while sailing as a sloop. The image shows the Mayflower's distinctive profile against the backdrop of the coastline, with the sails fully hoisted and billowing in the wind. The Mayflower was owned and skippered by Edward Burgess, also known as Ned Burgess, a prominent figure in the yachting world of the late 19th century. The photograph was likely taken during a training session or practice race, as the Mayflower continued to compete in various regattas and sailing events. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of sailing and maritime transportation during the nineteenth century. The Mayflower's transformation from a sloop to a schooner reflects the evolving technology and strategies of sailing at the time, as well as the enduring allure of the sea and the thrill of competition. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images of American maritime history, nautical heritage, or sailing culture. It is a reminder of the rich legacy of sailing in the United States and the enduring appeal of the sea and the vessels that have traversed its waters.
