On the Water: A Century of Iconic Maritime Photography from the Rosenfeld Collection

The Rosenfeld Collection is a stunning collection of photographs that capture the beauty, drama, and power of sailing and boating in its golden age.

With nearly one million pieces from 1881 to the present, this archive is one of the largest in the United States and offers a unique glimpse into the maritime lifestyle.

The Rosenfelds' photographs of competition sailboats, billowing spinnakers, and graceful motor yachts are not only beautifully reproduced but also transport the reader to the decks of daysailers, sleek America’s Cup racing boats, vintage Chris-Craft runabouts, and elegant motor yachts from a bygone era.

This is a must-have for any sailing enthusiast or maritime history buff, as it celebrates the traditions of the nautical lifestyle and serves as a siren song to the American pursuit of going to sea.
