Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Label reads: "Dauntless lying at her Essex moorings, laid up under orders of Colt's mother. Note the decorative transom." In album. "Colt" refers to Caldwell Hart Colt (1858-1894), the son of Hartford firearms manufacturer Samuel Colt and Elizabeth Hart Jarvis Colt. The younger Colt was a noted yachtsman and owner of the schooner yacht Dauntless from 1882 until his death in 1894. Dauntless was built by Forsyth and Morgan of Mystic, 1866. Her original name was L'Hirondelle. James Gordon Bennett owned the schooner from 1867 to 1878 and renamed her Dauntless in 1867.
