EDITORS COMMENTS
The 118-foot racing yacht Cariad, a true masterpiece of maritime engineering, takes center stage in this photo print. Built by Summers & Payne in Southampton for the esteemed Lord Dunraven in 1896, Cariad was named after the Welsh word for Sweetheart, reflecting the deep affection her owner held for her. The craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes is evident in every detail of this magnificent vessel. With its gaff rig and windward broadside reaching out to conquer the open waters, Cariad embodies both elegance and power. Its sleek silhouette cuts through the waves with grace as it sails off the coast of England's Isle of Wight. This monochrome image captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to an era when sailing yachts were not only means of transportation but also symbols of prestige and adventure. The legacy carried by Cariad extends beyond its physical beauty; it represents a connection between man and nature that transcends time. As we gaze upon this remarkable sailboat view, we are transported back to early 20th-century England, where Lord Dunraven reveled in his passion for sailing amidst breathtaking coastal scenery. This print serves as a reminder that even today, amidst modern technology and fast-paced lifestyles, there is still something enchanting about harnessing the power of wind and water to embark on an exhilarating journey across vast oceans.
