EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the tense anticipation at the starting line of the Goelet Cup Race on August 5, 1887. The regatta, held in Newport, Rhode Island, United States, was a significant nautical event during the 19th century. The image shows a group of competitors and their crews, all focused on the starting signal. The sailboats are moored at the dock, with the water and geographical feature of Newport Harbor in the background. The photograph was likely taken using a dry plate or glass negative process, a common method for producing photographs during that era. The Goelet Cup Race was a highly competitive event, with Edwin H. Husher's yacht, "Chushu," leading the pack. The starting line is filled with a sense of excitement and energy, as the sailors prepare to set sail and begin their race. This photograph is a valuable piece of American heritage, showcasing the country's rich maritime history and the spirit of competition that has long been a part of its culture.
