Holiday In Boston

Holiday In Boston captures Slim Aarons in 1959, photographing Henry B. Cabot Jr. in his classic black ensemble aboard Barclay (Buzzy) H Warburton III's iconic brigantine, 'Black Pearl.' The scene unfolds off North Shore, Boston, as they navigate through the picturesque harbors of Manchester and Marblehead in Essex County, Massachusetts. The striking contrast between Cabot's dark attire and the natural maritime backdrop creates a dynamic visual that speaks to an era of refined nautical leisure, where sailing was both sport and social statement among New England's established families.
