EDITORS COMMENTS
Start of 46 Footers, Goelet Cup Race, 1891" is a stunning photograph capturing the excitement and grandeur of the yachting scene during the late 19th century in America. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, this dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image depicts the beginning of the Goelet Cup Race off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island, United States. The photograph showcases a fleet of impressive 46-foot sailboats, all poised and ready to embark on the competition. The boats are listed in the water, their sails taut and billowing in the wind, as they heel precariously to catch the breeze. The sailors on board, dressed in their nautical attire, are focused and determined, their eyes fixed on the horizon. The geographical feature in the background, with its rocky shoreline and clear blue water, adds to the sense of tranquility and beauty of the scene. The boats are docked at a pier, with spectators and crew members gathered on the shore, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the event. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the pastime of sailing, which was a popular leisure activity for the affluent class during this period. The Goelet Cup Race was a prestigious event, attracting the best sailors and yachts from across the country. The image captures the essence of the competition, with the boats vying for the coveted cup and the excitement of the race about to begin. Johns Johnston, a prolific photographer, expertly captured this moment in time, providing us with a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the sea and sailing.
