Rather than a single vessel, this photograph shows a group of schooners under sail together, a arrangement that let photographers of the late 1890s capture the rigs, sails, and spacing of several boats at once. The record credits Charles E. Bolles with the copyright, though the catalog notes that this information comes from an old caption card and has not been verified. Around 1898, schooner yachts were a familiar sight on American waters, where wealthy owners raced them and cruised them for pleasure. Images like this one document how those boats were handled and how sailing had become a popular leisure pursuit.
