EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre sailing yacht Peterkin, built in 1914 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, is a captivating snapshot of the golden age of yachting. This monochrome print showcases the timeless elegance and grace of this magnificent vessel as it glides effortlessly through the waters off the Isle of Wight. Designed under the International Rule, Peterkin represents a pinnacle in yacht design and craftsmanship during the early 20th century. With her sleek lines and Bermuda rigging, she embodies both beauty and speed. The image captures her running downwind with full sails billowing against an expansive sky. The masterful workmanship by Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk is evident in every detail of this stunning yacht. William Umpleby Kirk's expertise also contributed to its creation, making it a true family affair that resulted in a masterpiece on water. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back to an era when sailing was not just a sport but also a way of life. It reminds us of the thrill and adventure that awaited those who dared to harness nature's power for exploration. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with yachting history and pays homage to these remarkable vessels that continue to inspire awe even today.
