EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Soub, Oyster Bay June Races, 1898 July 12," was captured by the skilled lens of Johns Johnston. The image transports us back in time to the 1890s in the United States, specifically to the picturesque location of Oyster Bay, New York, in the heart of Long Island. The scene is alive with activity as sailboats and steam yachts gracefully navigate the serene waters. The June races were a cherished pastime for the local community, attracting enthusiasts from all walks of life. The sailboats, with their sails billowing in the breeze, glide effortlessly across the water, leaving a trail of white foam in their wake. In contrast, the steam yacht, with its impressive smokestack, cuts through the water with a sense of power and elegance. The image is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States, showcasing the beauty and allure of the sea. The black and white dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size, was meticulously preserved and is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history. Detailed in the photograph are the names of some of the boats and their crew members, including "Soub," "Edwin H. Husher," and "William A. Livingstone." This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also offers a glimpse into the lives of those who enjoyed the simple pleasures of sailing and racing on the water. The image is a beautiful reminder of the leisurely pursuits of the past, inviting us to appreciate the natural beauty of the sea and the joy of sailing.
