EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on August 22, 1903, captures the excitement and grandeur of the early days of yachting in America. The image, titled "Reliance before the start," depicts the sailboat "Reliance" preparing for the start of the 1903 America's Cup race. The location of the regatta is not definitively known, but it is believed to have taken place off the coast of New York or Newport, Rhode Island. The "Reliance" was owned by Detroit Publishing Company, which was founded by William A. Livingstone and Edwin H. Husher. The company was a leading publisher of postcards, photographs, and travel guides in the early 20th century. This photograph was likely taken using a dry plate negative process and measures 8 x 10 inches. The America's Cup is the world's oldest international sailing competition, with the first race taking place in 1851. The event is steeped in history and tradition, and the yachts that competed in the early 1900s were the epitome of elegance and speed. In this photograph, the crew of the "Reliance" can be seen making final preparations before the start of the race. The sailors are focused and determined, with the wind in their sails and the sea stretching out before them. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the leisure activities and pastimes of the early 1900s. It also serves as a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of sailing and yachting. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and value as a record of American history.
