EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1900s, depicts the schooner Rose Dorothea in the midst of the first Fishermen's Race for the Lipton Cup in the United States. The image captures a pivotal moment in the competition as the topmast of the Rose Dorothea lies broken, leaving the crew in a state of determination and resilience. The race, which took place off the coast of Massachusetts, was part of a series of regattas organized by Sir Thomas Lipton, a British tea magnate, to promote international sailing competition. The event attracted numerous participants from across the country, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship among the sailors. The photograph, taken with a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, offers a glimpse into the pastime of sailing during the early 20th century, a time when the sea was a primary means of transportation and a source of livelihood for many. The image, although devoid of color, is rich in history and heritage, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the human spirit that dares to conquer its vast expanse.
