EDITORS COMMENTS
The 95 ft yawl Artemis, designed by Arthur E. Payne and built by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, sails close-hauled in this print from 1911. The image captures the grace and power of this magnificent sailing vessel as it cuts through the water with its gaff rig and sleek design. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes was renowned for its shipbuilding industry during the early 20th century. Kirk & Sons were among the prominent companies in this maritime hub, known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Artemis showcases both beauty and functionality, with her elegant lines and impressive size. This monochrome photograph highlights every intricate detail of her construction while capturing a moment frozen in time - a testament to the golden age of yachting. Sailing enthusiasts will appreciate this stunning portrayal of sport and leisure on water transport. The crew skillfully maneuvers Artemis against strong winds, demonstrating their expertise in handling such a large yacht close to windward. This print is not only a visual delight but also an important historical document that represents an era when yachting was not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of status and luxury. It serves as a reminder that even today, sailing continues to be both an exciting sport and an escape into nature's vast playground.
