Northeast Harbor Fleet
Northeast Harbor Library
Description:
72 B/W and sepia photographs of the Northeast Harbor Fleet around the clubhouse and under sail. Photographs of IOD's Collection brought to the library in 1998 and are listed as coming from the fleet and Joe Grant. See also item 5458 2: Aquila NEH #2 on mainsail only 4: The "30 M" clearly IDs this boat as a 30 sq m, but the M3 probably denotes it as NEH #3, which is Herman Hessenbruch's Agile 8: Three 30 sq m beating into the wind. Agile NEH #2, in the foreground, tacking to starboard while the other hulls are going to port. The left-most boat looks like NEH #6. The wake behind #2 suggest it had just turned smartly. Also note #2's conspicuous large donut life ring on the stern deck 9: see also photo 1156 q 11/55: Flying Cloud 10/49: Vixen III 16: Sagamore 18/42: Vayu 19: Light air amid a pre-race pileup of yacht racing classes, including Aquila NEH #2, and Nordic II NEH #4 23: Sagamore 26: Aquila NEH #2, probably taken minutes after Photo 1852 NEHF 43. Shows the slight curvature of the upper mast, a characteristic of square meter boats 29/30/37: Niliraga 41: Thistle 43: Aquila NEH #2. The much larger boat in the background (white hull) is not a 30 sq. m. 45: Nancy, Agile. Hessenbruch's jib-less Agile NEH #3 being passed by light-hull NEH #6 51: 30 M #5, with a white hull, running and leading NEH #2 Aquila 53: Another view at the race start of Photo 1852 NEHF 55, showing the same boats in the same order left to right. This would be the start of the big boats racing over the same course. It looks like three other 30 sq. m. are racing given the bent upper masts 55: X 42, 4th from left, is a sail number designation (with an X) that was common for 30 sq. m. boats imported from Germany during the early 1930s. X 42 could be (?) the Gluckauf, the boat purchased and renamed as US3 Visitor by L. Francis Herreshoff. Also in the starting line is the 40 sq. m. NEH #2 Tsana III (holding the actual floating line) 56: Malcom N. Stanley's boat, winner class B, August series 57: Blue Hill, 1933 58: Nymph 59: Old Mack B, 1933 62: Class B yachts approaching finish line 67-71: Start of a Northeast Harbor race in the Summer of 1958 [show more]
