Howard E. Coffin [1873-1937] was one of the founders of the Hudson Motor Car Company who, in the 1920s, purchased real estate on Sapelo Island and Sea Island, developing the area's first resort. This handsome photo album memorializes a holiday taken by the Coffins with four other prominent Detroit families to Sapelo Island for a week of yachting, deer and bird hunting, and horseback riding. Present are images of many of the abandoned plantations and slave quarters on the islands; Coffin's yacht, the Zapala; a mule-drawn cart driven by a native; Button Gwinnett's home; the porch and interiors of the Coffin House at Sapelo; and the guests engaged in a variety of activities.
