EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the opulent cabin of the yacht Althea, circa 1907-1915. This stunning photograph, from the collection of the Library of Congress, transports us back in time to an era of luxury and leisure on the high seas. The cabin's interior is adorned with elegant furniture, including a spacious sideboard, a clothes press, and a linen press, all in rich woods and intricate detailing. Notice the pigeon holes on the wall, used to display international code of signals, an essential tool for communication between ships during this period. The sideboard also features a trophy, a testament to the yacht's victories in sailing competitions. In the foreground, a buffet table is set with cups and plates, ready for a sumptuous meal. A spittoon lies on the floor, a common feature in cabins of this era for the convenience of the smokers on board. The cabin's interior design exudes a sense of refinement and comfort, making it an ideal space for relaxation and entertainment during long voyages. This photograph, taken with a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lifestyle of the wealthy Americans who owned yachts during the early 20th century. The Althea, with its grand cabin and luxurious appointments, represents the epitome of sailing elegance during this time.
