Schooner Alert (1892)

Schooner Alert at the Goelet Cup race on August 5, 1892. My colorization of the original image in the Library of Congress archive (Detroit Publising Co. collection).

The 92.5 feet schooner yacht Alert was built in Boston in 1888, according to the US Annual list of Merchant vessels. The owner was the New York millionaire John N. Luning (1859 - 1923).
