EDITORS COMMENTS
Seawanhaka: Trial Races at Oyster Bay, July 12, 1898" is a stunning photograph capturing the excitement and elegance of a yachting regatta during the late 19th century in America. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston on July 1, 1898, the image depicts the Seawanhaka, a sailing yacht, participating in trial races at Oyster Bay, New York. The serene waters of the bay reflect the sun's rays, creating a picturesque backdrop for the competition. The Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, located in Oyster Bay, is believed to be the namesake of the yacht, making this photograph an important piece of the club's history. The sailors, dressed in their nautical attire, are fully focused on the race, their determined expressions and taut sails conveying the intensity of the competition. This photograph is a testament to the leisurely pastime of sailing, which was a popular activity among the affluent classes during the 1890s. The image also highlights the country's rich maritime heritage and the importance of water transportation in the United States. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 inches, and is now part of the collection at the Library of Congress. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, providing a glimpse into the past and the evolution of yachting and sailing in America. The photograph's creator, Johns Johnston, was a prominent figure in American photography during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works have been featured in numerous publications, including those by the Detroit Publishing Company. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to his skill and artistry, capturing the essence of a bygone era in American history.
