Antique Sailboat Photos

Posted on | January 12, 2010 | 8 Comments

I was cruising the NYPL’s digital archive this morning when I came across a series of sailboat photographs. A few were taken in Marblehead Harbor in the late 1800′s. I could be bias but I think we have the most beautiful harbor in New England.

The digital archive is fun to explore and it’s also a great resource to purchase affordable art. Digital high resolution images of the photographs can be purchased through the library starting at $35. Find out more at digitalgallery.nypl.org.

I love those old boats…

I was lucky enough to sail your waters on a boat called ‘The Observer’ on a cold sunny Sunday in the Fall. It wasn’t old but it had sails and I’ll never forget it.

Truly magic.

The windjammer cruises out of Camden,ME are a fun way to experience sailing. Not that expensive either.
