EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch photograph, estimated to date back to 1887, depicts the yacht "The Volunteer" underway during its trial trip. The exact location of this nautical milestone remains a mystery, but the image exudes an undeniable sense of excitement and anticipation. The yacht, with its elegant sails billowing in the wind, cuts through the water with ease, leaving a wake that reveals its powerful presence. Edward Burgess, also known as Ned Burgess, and Edwin H. Husher stand on the deck, intently observing the vessel's performance. Burgess, a renowned yachtsman and businessman, was a significant figure in the world of sailing and racing. He would later become a member of the Detroit Publishing Company, which played a crucial role in documenting and disseminating images of American life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The background is filled with a diverse group of onlookers, all eager to witness the trial run of this impressive watercraft. The Volunteer's trial trip marked a pivotal moment in the history of yachting and racing in the United States, as it showcased the latest advancements in yacht design and technology. This stunning dry plate or glass negative photograph, with its rich contrast and intricate details, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the spirit of adventure that has long captivated the American people.
