Summary edit

Description
English: Yacht Cornelia at the New York Yacht Club Regatta, by Warren Sheppard. A memorable American yacht racing moment, preserved as art, has several schooners owned by members of the New York Yacht Club racing in their annual summer regatta on June 11, 1874. Prominent in the center of this painting is CORNELIA, owned by Dr. Joseph Vondy. Vondy was a member of both the N.Y.Y.C. and the Jersey City Yacht Club, and most likely directly commissioned artist Warren Sheppard. Closest in competition is the Schooner VISION, owned by member J.S. Alexandre with his family’s burgee atop the main, and a nearby top-sail schooner. In the distance is believed the event’s winner, John Walker’s Schooner GRACIE. The Sandy Hook Lighthouse is a small white sliver of a tower, visible above CORNELIA’s stern rail and light-brightened sails.
