EDITORS COMMENTS
Going out to Sea," a captivating photograph from the early 1900s, showcases a serene and picturesque scene of several sailing ships setting sail from the shores of an unidentified location in the United States. The image, taken around 1908, is a testament to the rich maritime history of America during this era. The sailing ships, with their full sails billowing in the wind, create a dynamic contrast against the calm and tranquil water. The intricate details of the ships, from their rigging to their hulls, are beautifully captured in this dry plate glass 8 x 10 inch negative. The photograph, from the collection of the Library of Congress, is attributed to an unknown photographer, although it is believed that Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone may have taken the image. The exact location of the photograph remains a mystery, adding to the intrigue and allure of this historic piece. This photograph is a reminder of a time when sailing ships were the primary mode of transportation across vast bodies of water. The image evokes a sense of adventure, exploration, and the spirit of discovery that characterized the early 20th century in America. The black and white medium further adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, making it a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art or historical photography. The sailing ships in "Going out to Sea" are a beautiful sight to behold, as they gracefully navigate the water, leaving a trail of white foam in their wake. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that have sailed upon it, and serves as a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of the United States.
