Set up, electrotyped, and published April, 1904. Norwood Press Smith Co, J. S. Gushing & Co. — Berwick & Norwood^ Mass.f U.S.A. INTRODUCTION In spite of the utilitarian tendencies of the present age, it is fortunately no longer necessary to argue in behalf of sport; even the busiest of busy Americans have at last learned the neces- sity for a certain amount of relaxation and rec- reation, and that the best way to these lies in the pursuit of some form of outdoor sport. While each has its stanch adherents, who pro- claim its superiority to all others, the sport of yachting can perhaps show as much to its credit as any. As a means to perfect physical development, one great point in all sports, it has the advantage of being followed outdoors in the bracing atmos- phere of the sea; and while it involves severe physical labor and at times actual hardships, it fits its devotees to withstand and enjoy both. In the matter of competition, the salt and savor of all sport, yachting opens a wide and varied field. In cruising there is a constant strife 219316 vi Introduction with the elements, and in racing there is the contest of brain and hand against those of equal adversaries.

  • Introduction and List of George Owen's Designs
    TABLE OF CONTENTS Project Background and Acknowledgements 3 Provenance 4 Biography of George Owen 5-7 Series Listing 8 Scope and Content 8-9 Appendix A: Description of Database 10 Appendix B: Index to Vessels Designed by George Owen 11-14 Intoduction 2 Project Background and Acknowledgements This definitive guide to the George Owen Collection is the result of a comprehensive cataloging, database, and microfilming project begun in 1998 and completed in 1999. The guide describes all material related to Owen at MIT Museum, including major new additions in 2002 and 2003. The George Owen Project followed similar work completed earlier with two other major design collections. Printed guides were produced following the earlier projects involving the Haffenreffer-Herreshoff and Davis-Hand Collections. The Museum intended to publish a printed guide to the Owen Collection. While a lack of funds and new additions to the collection deferred this for several years, the guide now offers over 350 pages of easily accessible data. A printed guide of this size would not be practical. At this time, the Owen online guide is MIT Museum’s first electronic finding aid and our largest, most extensive guide available. The Owen Project and this guide would not be possible without the enthusiasm and support of Lloyd Bergeson (MIT class of 1938) and his many MIT classmates and friends. The following individuals generously contributed the core funding for the George Owen Project: David R. Wadleigh ‘38, Lloyd Bergeson ‘38, Daniel D. Strohmeier ‘34, Charles F. Adams, Richard W.

  • Learn More About Royal Sailing Yachts
    The Royal Sailing Yachts By Richard Johnstone-Bryden Version 1.4 The Royal Sailing Yachts By Richard Johnstone-Bryden The Royal Connection The prospect of racing against members of the Royal Family has helped to increase participation in yachting at several key moments in the sport’s development over the past two centuries. The Prince Regent, later King George IV, initiated the Royal Family’s links with yachting at Cowes in 1817 by indicating that he wanted to join The Yacht Club, which subsequently evolved into the Royal Yacht Squadron of today. Having become a member of The Yacht Club, His Royal Highness visited Cowes two years later to watch the yacht racing from the Royal Yacht Royal George. Queen Victoria’s eldest son, The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, strengthened the Royal Family’s relationship with yachting through his active participation in the sport. His passion for the sea had been triggered by childhood cruises and watching the inaugural race for the America’s Cup off the Isle of Wight on 23 August 1851. In 1863, Prince Edward accepted the Royal Yacht Squadron’s invitation to become its Patron in succession to his father, Prince Albert, and purchased the first of his eight racing yachts three years later. The 37 ton cutter Dagmar, named after his sister-in-law, was followed by the 40 ton cutter Alexandra in 1871, the 40 ton cutter Princess in 1872, the 38 ton Zenobia in 1873, the 205 ton schooner Hildegarde in 1876, the 104 ton cutter Formosa in 1880, the 210 ton schooner Aline in 1882, and finally, the most famous of them all Britannia in 1893.

  • The Unseen Treasures of Nineteenth-Century American Marine Art by Lauren P
    Flying the Colors: The Unseen Treasures of Nineteenth-Century American Marine Art By Lauren P. Della Monica, Janice Hyland and Alan Granby Copyright 2009 Lauren P. Della Monica, Janice Hyland, Alan Granby Flying the Colors: The Unseen Treasures of Nineteenth-Century American Marine Art by Lauren Pheeney Della Monica CHAPTER ONE FINE ART Nineteenth Century American marine artists worked within the wider genre of American Realism characterized by finely-tuned attention to detail both in rendering physical attributes of sea, sky or ships as well as in the reportage quality of the works, that notion of recording the quotidian life of the harbors and their inhabitants. The artists also took measures beyond the realistic, however, and into the abstract realm of emotive content. For some Luminist painters, for example, this meant portraying an active harbor scene full of the bustle of daily life but in an atmosphere charged by the effect of the dusk light upon the sea. For other painters, it meant depicting a bustling harbor at the zenith of tranquility. In a discussion of fine art within Nineteenth Century American marine painting, a few famous names come instantly to mind, such as Fitz Henry Lane, Robert Salmon and William Bradford. In addition, many talented though lesser-known painters of the same generation contributed outstanding seascape and maritime paintings to the body of fine American marine art. In this chapter, we will explore exquisite examples of that body of art both by the famous and the more obscure talents of the time. Thomas Birch (1779-1851) Though he began his artistic career as a portraitist,1 Thomas Birch (1779-1851) is well- known for his marine paintings and especially his naval battle scenes from the War of 1812.
