The sailboat in this picture is named *Bandit*, and the caption identifies the man aboard as Charlie Taft. The Bain News Service, which supplied the caption, recorded that identification without verifying it, so the attribution should be read with some caution. The glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a large body of news photographs that the Bain News Service produced and distributed in New York from the early 1900s into the 1920s. Those pictures were made for newspapers and magazines, so they capture the kinds of people and pastimes that drew press attention in that era, and this one reflects the leisure sport of yachting.
