A winter crew readies an ice yacht near Red Bank, New Jersey, a setting where frozen rivers and bays drew sailors who fitted their boats with runners instead of hulls. These craft, with their sails and steering runners, could race across the ice faster than a horse-drawn sleigh on the same surface. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The title comes from the agency's caption data, which has not been independently verified, and no date is recorded.
