8x10 glass negative photographed by Charles Edwin Bolles ca. 1905. Image of the steam yacht GRAYLING, underway, starboard bow view. GRAYLING was approximately a 200' steam yacht with a clipper bow and counter stern and bowsprit. Schooner gaff-rigged with 2 masts. Carried one smokestack and a deck cabin. Starboard side view shows a tender on davits containing a naphtha engine. Flag at stern is not U.S. nor an American ensign but not identifiable as to what country. The yacht club flag on the foremast may possibly be the NYYC but the owner's flag aft is unclear. Hull is white with a dark deck cabin. There are six portholes aft on the starboard side and 10 portholes from amidships to the bow. Handwritten neg. sleeve info.: "Grayling / Y125 / Box 13". Handwritten on neg. margin: "1810 / Grayling".
