Crew lying on high side to balance the yacht Reliance, winner of 1903 America's Cup

Photograph shows gaff cutter designed by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff and built by Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, Bristol, Rhode Island, for the 1903 America's Cup. The ship in front of Reliance is Columbia. This shot was taken during the Cup trials, rather than the actual America's Cup races. Columbia had won the previous two Cup races, but got trounced by Reliance in the 1903 trials. (Source: C. Seavey, 2018)
