Boudoir card photograph depicting the yacht Ileen under sail, shown prominently among a broader field of sailing vessels on open water. The central yacht is captured heeling slightly, with tall, narrow sails rising sharply against an open sky, creating a strong vertical emphasis typical of late 19th-century yachting imagery. Additional yachts and a steam-powered vessel appear in the distance, reinforcing the sense of an organized sailing event or regatta setting rather than an isolated marine view.

The yacht name Ileen is printed in the negative along the lower margin. At the lower right corner, the image bears the printed credit “Gubleman,” with negative number 496 and the location Jersey City, New Jersey. This type of boudoir-format marine photograph was commonly produced for yacht owners, clubs, and maritime enthusiasts, documenting notable vessels and competitive sailing scenes of the period.

Albumen photograph mounted on its original boudoir-size card. No photographer’s imprint beyond the Gubleman credit is visible, and no handwritten inscriptions are present.
