    Rose Pitonof was from Dorchester MA, first female swimmer to swim from Manhattan to Coney Island, in August 1911, when she was 17 years old. The year before, she had completed the Boston Light swim. See South Boston: My Home Town: The History of an Ethnic Neighborhood by Thomas H. O'Connor (University Press of New England 1994). She was featured on a chewing tobacco card c.1913: www.bikiniscience.com/chronology/1910-1915_SS/PS1350_S/PS...
  • Coney Island History Project said:
    Via the Coney Island History Project's Facebook page On this day in history...Sept 18,1910... Rose Pitonof swam from the New York Yacht Club at the foot of East Twenty-third Street to Coney Island Lightship, a distance of 16-1/4 miles in a straight line, without any noticeable fatigue on her part. The 16 year old girl from Boston accomplished what male swimmers had tried... time and again without success. Rounding Norton's Point, she had a royal battle with the head tide. She made the distance in 5 hours and 8 minutes. Photo: Rose Pitonof, Champion Long-Distance Swimmer, Library of Congress, Bain collection www.facebook.com/pages/Coney-Island-History-Project/14934...

    I'm curious: why would someone add the tag 'dive' to this photo?

    "On August 10, 1913 Dolly Meyer and Myrtle Wright ventured the Golden Gate crossing [San Francisco, California -- before the Golden Gate Bridge was built] and both succeeded in their goal, the former with a time of one hour 28 minutes, the latter a much quicker one hour and 31 seconds. Members of the California Life Saving and Swimming Club, they were started by Captain Clark, who set them off at 11 a.m. on their course from Fort Point to Lime Point."

    I love the sense of beauty captured in her face. She seems very confident in pursuing her endeavors through her body movement. This picture is just magnificent!
