EDITORS COMMENTS
Vourekas, Captain: A Cheerful Figure on His Ship in 1929 (Arnold Genthe/Heritage Images) In this evocative photograph taken by Arnold Genthe in 1929, we find Captain Vourekas, a proud and cheerful figure, standing on the deck of his ship. The image, part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, captures the essence of the 20th century American maritime heritage. The captain, dressed in his full naval uniform, is seen holding a hat in his right hand, looking away from the camera with a contented expression. The ship's mechanism and rigging can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of motion and transportation. The image, taken as a still, transports us back to the era of water transport and the United States' maritime history. The photograph, a nitrate negative, is a testament to the fashion and clothing of the time, with Vourekas' crisp, white uniform and the captain's traditional hat adding to the vintage appeal. The image, taken on board the ship, showcases the captain's confident and commanding presence, making it a unique and valuable portrait of the era. The location of the photograph is not specified, but the image conveys a sense of the open sea, the vastness of the water, and the freedom of the open road. The image is a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the people who played a significant role in its transportation history. The photograph, a conceptual piece, is a must-have for anyone interested in American history, maritime history, or vintage photography.
