EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment just before the start of the last race of 1899 between Columbia and Shamrock I. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, this historic image showcases two majestic yachts poised for competition on the open sea. The composition exudes a sense of speed and anticipation as Columbia takes the lead, with Shamrock I closely trailing behind. The monochromatic tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing both the power and elegance of these sailing vessels. This photograph was later used as an illustration for "The America's Cup Races" by Herbert L Stone in 1905, further solidifying its significance in sporting history. It serves as a visual testament to early twentieth-century yacht racing, capturing not only a thrilling moment but also highlighting advancements in transportation during that era.
