After the Storm
Image
A description of this photograph written by Ernst Schmidt reads: "The 'Senta' with the anchor out shortly after the storm had hit. I am on the after deck — Father [Dr. Otto L. Schmidt] is standing up in the cock-pit... I think it is Charlie Fisher standing at the mast, who is on the forward deck I do not know." The Schmidts were competing in the Class A race at the Inland Lake Yachting Association Regatta on Lake Winnebago.
August 1916
