Series IV Personal and Family Life Images 5 Slide Storage Boxes (1 cubic ft.) Series IV: Personal and Family Life Images consists of visual material relating to George Owen’s personal life. This most recent addition to the Owen related collections was generously donated by Chris Morehouse, a great-grandson of Owen, in 2003. Morehouse informed the Hart Nautical Collections that Owen was the creator of these images. The series is divided into two subseries: films and slides. There are 28 color and black and white 16mm films, which document Owen’s family activities, events, and vacations as well as yacht races and other nautical subject matter. The films range in date from 1934- 1950. The 986 color 35mm slides are of similar content. Only a small percentage of the images in this series relates to Owen’s professional career. The bulk of images reflect Owen’s life-long interest in photography, his love of horticulture, and his family life. Additionally, images of yachting, MIT, trips along the coast of Maine, and the hurricane of 1938 will be of interest to many. The 16mm films have been inventoried. Access to these films remains restricted until a preservation assessment, conservation and archival duplication of the films are completed. A general summary of the content found on the films is listed below. Owen’s slides have been catalogued on an item level and a complete listing is the primary content of this series. Content Summary of 16mm Films • Yacht racing at Marblehead, Massachusetts, Newport, Rhode Island and elsewhere. • Rowing races on the Charles River, Massachusetts including MIT and other universities. • 1934 America’s Cup Races. • J-class Ranger and Astor Cup Races. • Owen Family yachting. • Model yacht racing. • Coastal damage from Hurricane of 1938. • NY Worlds Fair, 1939. • Fishing Trawlers. • Onboard USS Davis. • Boston area sporting events involving family. • Owen Family at home, abroad, and at play. • Outdoor scenery. Patrons interested in assisting with preservation of the films should contact the curator of Hart Nautical Collections. Series IV: Personal and Family Life Images 2 Note on Order Each film and slide has a unique object number, such as “2003.007.001.” All items in this series begin with the accession number “2003.007” as they belong to the seventh gift, donated in 2003. Subpoints, such as “.001,” indicate specific films and slides. The slides were processed and rehoused in their original order. The listing below is not the original order. The list is sorted alphabetically (numbers sort prior to letters) by content in the photo subject field to facilitate browsing. Microfilm There are no microfilm images of this series.

Such assistance should be a key service to our members and therefore we are instigating access through a special link on the AYH website. Many of us will have started research in yacht club records and club libraries, which are often haphazard and incomplete.

    PDP WF 101 Sailing, Beginning Instructor: Liz Glivinski Email: [email protected] Phone: 508-789-9756 Meets once per week: 1.0 Credit Course Description: Prerequisite: Successful completion of the Boating Swim Test or Waiver. This is an introductory course for those with little or no sailing experience. All students must have passed the boating swim test or sign the swim test waiver in order to take the class. The swim test or waiver must be completed before students can use the sailboats and preferably by the second class period. The course will explore boat rigging, basic nautical terminology, safety procedures, and elementary sailing maneuvers. The course meets for two hours once a week at the BU Sailing Pavilion and will be a combination of land-based lectures and practice as well as on the water instruction. *THIS IS A NONSTANDARD COURSE which means that the deadlines to drop this course differ from most university courses. Please check the Student Link to review these deadlines* Required Attire: Sailing is a water sport. Attire depends on the weather. For warm weather, it is good to wear a swimsuit or other quick-drying clothing as well as bring a towel and change of clothes. For cold weather, one should dress in layers. The outermost layer should be waterproof with the rest for warmth. Wool and Fleece work well. Do not wear cotton. Closed toe shoes are best and a waterproof boot or neoprene booties work well for the cold. Students will not be allowed to participate and will be marked as absent if the instructor deems their attire is inappropriate for the weather conditions.

The 6-Metre class made its North American debut on these waters in 1915 during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and we are thrilled to celebrate 101 years of “elegance & performance” on the Bay. An extraordinary team has worked hard to make this regatta one for the ages. We acknowledge Commodore Kimball Livingston, Club General Manager JJ West, and Director of Race Lynn Lynch for their standard-setting levels of Let your financial dreamsset sail. hospitality and regatta management. With both Classic and Modern “ruled” 6-Metres participating in as many as nine races in the days to come, consistent performance promises to outweigh luck, a missed tide line or a fortuitous wind shift. At regatta’s end, the winning teams will be presented with prestigious fixtures, and all will carry away the thrill of competition on our beautiful San Francisco Bay. May the best team win, and may the Corinthian spirit continue to flourish.
