Through the pictures in the Art of the Boat 2021 calendar, we can look back to the age of sailing on a grand scale and see the start of a new era of power boating. In 1898 using a borrowed camera Morris Rosenfeld won a photo contest with the picture of a three\-masted ship on the East River of New York. The $5 prize allowed him to purchase his own camera and begin a career in photography. Together Morris and son Stanley devoted nearly a century to making photographs of boats.
