Photograph of Members of the New York Athletic Club Shooting Traps on
Travers Island in 1911
For many years, members of the New York Athletic Club were able to
shoot traps on Travers Island in the Village of Pelham Manor. Collections
of the Library of Congress include an interesting photograph indicating
that it shows men on Travers Island shooting traps. The image appears
below, followed by a link to the Web page on the Library of Congress Web
site that provides bibliographic data regarding the photograph.
An inscription on the photograph indicates that it was
taken on March 22, 1911 and was printed from a glass negative. The
bibliographic data indicates that the photograph is from the George
Grantham Bain Collection in the Library of Congress and was created by the
Bain News Service.
