nantucket regatta

The Ninth Annual Regatta of the Nantucket Yacht Club was held on August 5, 1939. And a lovely day it looks too... These photos taken for Life magazine by David E Scherman. You must get issued a pair of canvas laceups with membership and then trade those in for saddle shoes when you leave. Nails. Click to enlarge or see more.













Reception indeed...
I'm thinking these 2 guys on left are only there for the scenery...
