EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic sailing yachts Yankee, Astra, and Velsheda in all their glory. Taken in 1935 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this image showcases the beauty and elegance of these 20th-century vessels. The three yachts stand tall with their Bermuda rigs proudly displayed against a picturesque backdrop of the Isle of Wight. The skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every line and curve of these magnificent boats. Designed by renowned naval architect Charles Ernest Nicholson, each yacht boasts its own unique character. With Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk at the helm, these vessels were true symbols of excellence on the water. As they race through the waves, cutting effortlessly through the sea's surface, one can almost feel the thrill and excitement that surrounded competitive sailing during this era. These yachts were not just modes of transportation but also symbols of prestige for those fortunate enough to own or sail them. This monochrome masterpiece transports us back to a time when sailing was not only a sport but also an art form. It reminds us of our enduring fascination with water transport as we witness history being made on deck. With William Umpleby Kirk capturing this momentous occasion behind his lens alongside Mr. AM Singer's support, this photograph stands as a testament to their shared passion for preserving maritime heritage for generations to come.
