A sailing yacht owned by Sylvanus Stokes, Jr. is the subject of this glass negative, dated August 11, 1924. It comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington, D.C. studio that documented people, places and events for the public from the early 1900s into the 1930s. The title was supplied by the company and has not been independently verified, so the yacht's identity rests on that record. Glass negatives of this age often developed streaks and coating loss, and this one shows some of that wear.
