Published in New York by Currier & Ives around 1871, this picture credits two marine artists, Charles R. Parsons and Lyman W. Atwater, and fits the firm's long run of sporting and maritime scenes. The record does not name a particular vessel, so it is best read as a view of the yachting world of its day. American yacht racing had grown fashionable after the schooner *America* won the international cup in England in 1851, and the New York Yacht Club, founded in 1844, was already shaping the sport. Currier & Ives sold such scenes widely to a public eager to see the pastimes of the wealthy.
