Sailing

There are quite a lot of images of sail boats and those taken from a boat. Six frames are taken in a backyard and show a wooden yacht being restored or repaired. The boat is too big for a tiny backyard and it looks like a fence had to be temporarily removed to fit it in. We don't know anything about the owner of the vessel but we can be sure that he was on good terms with the neighbours. At least before he started the boatbuilding project.

The boat appears in other photos under full sail and carrying a crew of men, some in military uniforms. A lot of images are blurred due to camera movement. Fast-speed film would appear at least a decade later and photographers of the twenties had to be content with what they had.
