1893 Americas Vigilant Winner Yacht
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This stunning vintage lantern slide depicts the triumphant moment of the yacht Vigilant as it crossed the finish line to win the America's Cup in 1893. The America's Cup, the world's oldest international sailing competition, began in 1851 and has since then captured the imagination of the world with its prestige and tradition. The Vigilant, a beautiful racing yacht designed by Nathanael Herreshoff, represented the United States in the 11th America's Cup race, held off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island. The image captures the excitement and tension of the race, with the Vigilant's sleek lines cutting through the water as it sails towards victory. The Victorian and Edwardian eras, with their love of grandeur and adventure, are beautifully represented in this photograph, as the yacht and its crew embody the spirit of competition and innovation that defined the age. The intricate details of the yacht's rigging and sails, as well as the crisp white uniforms of the crew, add to the sense of elegance and refinement. This lantern slide is a testament to the rich history of sailing and the enduring allure of the America's Cup." The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online is a treasure trove of historical images, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. This particular image of the Vigilant, the winner of the America's Cup in 1893, is a stunning example of the collection's ability to transport us back in time and immerse us in the history of sailing and the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Whether used for personal research, educational purposes, or simply for the enjoyment of history and photography, this image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the past.
