Valkyrie II and Vigilant - The Dawn of the America's Cup Race, October 5, 1893
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous start of the America's Cup race between Valkyrie II and Vigilant on October 5, 1893. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, this image is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States during the 19th century. The America's Cup, the world's oldest international sailing competition, began in 1851 when the schooner America defeated the British fleet off the coast of England. The trophy, named after the winning vessel, has since become a symbol of yachting excellence. In this photograph, we see two formidable yachts, Valkyrie II and Vigilant, poised to begin their race. The crisp, white sails of Valkyrie II, helmed by Edwin H. Husher, contrast sharply against the dark waters of the racecourse. To her left, Vigilant, skippered by William A. Livingstone, is ready to challenge for the coveted trophy. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass 8 x 10 inches, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and grandeur of yachting during the late 1800s. The image is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. The start of the race marked the beginning of a new era in yachting history, with Valkyrie II emerging victorious. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of sailing and the rich maritime traditions that continue to shape the United States and the world.
