An 1893 edition of “Who Won?”—Captain James C. Summers’ well-known yachting handbook and registry, issued as a practical guide for yachtsmen of the late 19th century.
Often referred to as The Yachtsman’s Handbook, the volume serves as a detailed record of yacht clubs, private signals, racing results, and ownership—offering a snapshot of the Gilded Age yachting world centered around New York, Newport, and prominent sailing communities.
Illustrated throughout with yacht club burgees and private signal flags, the book captures a highly specific and increasingly collectible niche of maritime history.
