Trade card for the sloop yacht Emma Wicks

DESCRIPTION: SOLD

Rare antique lithographed trade card for the sloop yacht "Emma Wicks" ca. 1880. Captain Charles Adams & Jason Wicks advertised that "parties desiring a pleasant sail on the ocean or bays or to Cape May, or Long Beach will be cheerfully accommodated."

The illustration is of a moonlit night regatta of small gaff-rigged catboats off Long Island Light, Boston Harbor. Catboats are characterized by their simplicity, ease of handling, shallow draft, and large capacity. Historically, the origin of the catboat type was in New York around 1840. Cat-rigged boats were used for fishing and transport in the coastal waters around Cape Cod, Narragansett Bay, New York and New Jersey. Size is about 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". Verso blank.
