We added another batch of photographs to http://www.jsjohnston.org,
including the steam yachts Barracouta, Au Revoir, and Freelance; the
catboats Regina, Eurybia and Ursula; America's Cup contestants Defender
and Valkyrie III in the 1895 races, Thistle (the 1887 America's Cup
challenger, in drydock), Colonia (the Herreshoff 1893 AC candidate),
Jubilee (Boston's 1893 AC candidate), Vigilant (the 1893 America's Cup
winner), the schooner Oenone, sailing canoes (including Eclipse), and
El Heirie.

Can anyone add any background information to any of these, especially
the smaller vessels and the steam yachts?

Thanks, and enjoy the photos!
