Description
|
|
|
|
Between 1830 and 1960 the Port of New York was the busiest in the world, where merchant vessels, passenger liners, and battleships mingled with tugboats, barges, fishing boats, and yachts along a 362-mile waterfront. In 1901 British émigré Edwin Levick began to photograph the harbor, documenting its vessels and the life of its wharves and markets as well as yacht club regattas and America's Cup races. This handsome volume presents 136 photos from the Edwin Levick Collection at the Maritime Museum in Newport News, Virginia, capturing images from the racing yacht Resolute dipping her gunwales to immigrants catching their first sight of the Statue of Liberty.
