EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the elegant wooden launch Iona sets sail from Summer Island in Indian Neck, Branford, Connecticut, USA, circa 1908. The lush greenery of the trees lining the shore provides a picturesque backdrop to the tranquil water, with the American flag proudly flying from the mast of the boat. The launch Iona, with its graceful curves and ornate details, embodies the spirit of leisure and luxury that defined the early 1900s. The people gathered on the shore, some waving handkerchiefs or hats, add a sense of excitement and anticipation to the scene. Summer Island in Indian Neck was a popular destination for wealthy families during the summer months, who would travel from their urban homes to escape the heat and enjoy the natural beauty of the Connecticut shoreline. Boats like the Iona were a common sight on the water, providing transportation to and from the island. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and culture of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of nature and community were cherished. The flags flying from the boats and the shoreline serve as a reminder of the patriotism and pride that defined America during this time period.
