5 x 7 glass negative photographed by Rosenfeld and Sons on July 24, 1920. View of a group aboard the steamship, VICTORIA. Sir Thomas Lipton stands posed front and center holding a black cat with a bow around its neck. Other identified people in this photograph include President John F. Kennedy's parents, Rose and Joseph, seen second and third from the right. Original negative sleeve notes that this image was captured aboard the steamship, VICTORIA, but Stanley Rosenfeld identified it as ERIN in the book, A CENTURY UNDER SAIL. Identification is aboard VICTORIA as Sopwith did not cross the Atlantic on board ERIN in 1920. Handwritten on original negative sleeve: "4505-F / Large Group / Scene taken aboard S/S 'Victoria' / International Yacht Races 1920 / Aboard Erin / 1920 CUS / Box 566" and stamped: "JUL 24 1920".
