William T. Anderson is a private photographer whose subject is boating. In this collection, there is a good selection of photographs: the Detroit Yacht Club in the 1940s and 1950s; many types of boats (most notably power cruisers and sailboats); and boat races. Also in the collection is a nicely organized and labeled photograph album, which is devoted mainly to boating. The collection offers a fine example of a private photographer's style and method in organizing his work. This particular collection was doanted to the State Archives by Katherine Baker of Bay City.
