EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the excitement and energy of a sailboat regatta off the coast of Larchmont, New York, in the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, this dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image showcases a thrilling moment during the competition as several sailboats jostle for position at the start line. The boats, with their sails billowing in the wind, cut through the water with grace and determination. The scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the American coastline, with the sun casting long shadows over the calm sea. The geographical feature is a popular location for sailing enthusiasts, and the regatta was likely organized by the Detroit Publishing Company or similar organizations, attracting participants from all over the United States. The event was a pastime for the wealthy and well-connected, and the image captures the leisurely yet competitive spirit of the era. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American yachting and sailing culture, and the image has been preserved in the Library of Congress for future generations to appreciate. The boats, both white and black, represent the diversity and inclusivity of the sport, with Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone among the notable figures known to have participated in such events during this period. The image is a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the joy of sailing, and a glimpse into the past of a cherished American tradition.
