Carmita, 1897 June 26: A Scene of Leisure and Competition on the American Waterways This photograph, titled "Carmita, 1897 June 26," captures a moment of leisure and excitement during a sailing regatta on the waters of the United States. Taken by renowned photographer Johns Johnston, this dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image showcases a serene geographical feature dotted with sailboats, their white sails billowing in the wind. The tranquil scene is in stark contrast to the dynamic activity taking place on the water. The boats, a mix of white and black, glide effortlessly over the calm sea, their hulls cutting through the water as their crews intently focus on the competition. The sailors, dressed in their nautical attire, are fully immersed in the race, their determination evident in their expressions. The boats, some of which bear the names of their owners, are reminiscent of a bygone era, adding to the historical significance of the image. The regatta, likely organized by a local yacht club, brought together individuals from various backgrounds, as evidenced by the racially diverse crews. The event was a popular pastime during the late 19th century in the United States, attracting both the wealthy and the working class. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the country's rich maritime heritage and the enduring appeal of sailing as a sport. The photograph, taken by Johns Johnston, a prolific photographer of the era, is a beautiful representation of the leisurely pursuits and competitive spirit that defined the late 1800s in America. The image, titled "Carmita, 1897 June 26," is a reminder of a time when the simple pleasure of sailing brought people together, transcending racial and socio-economic boundaries.
