Gelatin silver print of Willard B. Jackson

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.

Resolute ­ Designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff | Built by Herreshoff Mfg. Co., Bristol, R.I., 1914 | 106.3_ Length overall, 75_ Length waterline
