Schooner yacht Resolute, 1926 Gelatin silver print of Willard B.
Jackson Gift of Alison H. Jackson, 1978 M27755.J4077
Jackson
photographed Resolute, a highly successful and expensive yacht, in a serene sea
that contrasts markedly with her reputation for speed. Though she carries a
schooner rig in this image, Resolute was originally designed as a gaff sloop for
the 1914 America's Cup, which was postponed to 1920 because of World War I.
Resolute won the cup, and when E. Walter Clark purchased her in 1925, she was
converted to a schooner and continued to be a successful racer.
