The title names E.Z. Sloat, and the negative is marked "399" and "I.H.", which a cataloguer linked to the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, so the subject is most likely a yacht or a club scene from the summer of 1896. The Detroit Publishing Company, known for its travel and resort views of the period, produced glass negatives like this one. The plate reached the Library of Congress by way of a 1949 gift to the State Historical Society of Colorado, and its record leaves the exact vessel and occasion open for further research.
