EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the early 1900s, showcases the steam yacht Surf as it gracefully cuts through the tranquil waters. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, was likely taken around 1903 and measures 8 x 10 inches. The Surf, a magnificent example of American maritime heritage, is shown in full profile, revealing its distinctive funnel and tall mast. The steam yacht, a popular mode of transportation and recreation for the wealthy during this era, is anchored near a picturesque geographical feature, possibly an inlet or a cove. The steam yacht Surf was owned by Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, prominent figures in Detroit's business community, who were also avid yachtsmen. This photograph, a dry plate negative or glass negative, is a testament to the art of early 20th century photography. The image, held in the collections of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of leisurely voyages, nautical pursuits, and the allure of the open sea.
