EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1903, captures the historic sailing yacht "Reliance" in preparation for the America's Cup regatta before its famous victory on August 22, 1903. The image was likely taken at the Detroit Publishing Company in Detroit, Michigan, and is believed to have been produced using a dry plate or glass negative process. The yacht, designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff, is shown confidently anchored in a serene body of water, with the American flag proudly displayed. The geographical feature in the background is not immediately identifiable, but the image conveys a sense of anticipation and excitement for the upcoming race. The "Reliance" was the first successful defense of the America's Cup by an American yacht since 1851, and its victory marked a significant moment in American maritime history. This photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the past of competitive sailing and the pride that came with representing one's country in a global sporting event.
