EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1899, captures the historic moment before the start of the America's Cup regatta with the schooner Shamrock I in the foreground. The Shamrock I, a challenger from the United States, is preparing to race against the defending champion, the British yacht Shamrock II, at the New York Yacht Club in Newport, Rhode Island, USA. The image, a dry plate or glass negative, shows the Shamrock I anchored at the starting line, with its crew members and support staff in the background, making final preparations for the race. The geographical feature of the water in the background adds to the sense of anticipation and excitement, as the sailing community gathers to witness this important competition in the rich maritime history of the Americas. The photograph, from the collection of the Library of Congress, is a valuable record of the preparation and profile of the Shamrock I before the start of the race, and a testament to the enduring legacy of sailing as a popular sport and pastime in the late 19th century.
