EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward 'Gunboat' Smith: A Multi-Faceted Athlete and Entertainer of the Early 1900s This photograph captures the youthful vigor and determination of Edward 'Gunboat' Smith (1887-1974), an Irish-American heavyweight boxer, film actor, and later, boxing referee. The image, taken in the early 1900s, showcases Smith in a classic boxing pose, with his powerful legs braced, fists clenched, and a focused expression on his face. Born in New York City, Smith's boxing career began in the late 1800s, and he quickly rose to prominence with his formidable strength and agility in the ring. He gained his nickname 'Gunboat' due to his impressive knockout power, which earned him a reputation as a fearsome opponent. However, Smith's talents extended beyond the boxing ring. In the 1910s, he made the transition to acting, appearing in numerous silent films, often playing the role of a heavy or tough guy. Smith's charisma and physical presence made him a popular choice for filmmakers, and he continued to act throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Later in his career, Smith became a boxing referee, using his extensive knowledge of the sport to ensure fair play and safety for the athletes. This photograph serves as a testament to Smith's versatility and enduring love for sports, showcasing his impressive physique and the intensity that made him a standout figure in both the boxing world and early Hollywood.
