EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1938, we witness a historic moment in the world of competitive sailing. The setting is Boston, Massachusetts, where the prestigious International Fishermen's Trophy race is taking place. The foreground showcases the magnificent Gertrude L. Thebaud, America's challenger for the trophy, gracefully passing by the Canadian schooner Bluenose to secure her lead. The image captures the essence of intense competition as these two impressive sailboats battle it out on the open waters. With their sails billowing in the wind and their crews working tirelessly to gain an advantage, both vessels exemplify determination and effort. This vintage photograph not only transports us back to a significant event in North American maritime history but also highlights the beauty and power of wind-driven yachts. It serves as a reminder of how sports can bring nations together in friendly rivalry while showcasing human skill and teamwork. As we admire this monochromatic snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that recreational pursuits like sailing have always played an important role in our society. This particular image holds historical significance due to its depiction of a pivotal moment when Gertrude L. Thebaud ultimately triumphed over Bluenose to claim victory for America. Captured by Underwood Archives and preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), this print offers us a glimpse into an era when sailboat racing was at its peak - a testament to human ingenuity harnessing nature's power for thrilling competitions on waterways
