EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent hull of the Steam yacht Branwen, captured in 1914 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. The Branwen, measuring an impressive 135 feet in length overall, was a true marvel of its time. Launched in 1905 at the renowned John I. Thornycroft & Company's Woolston yard, it holds historical significance as the first vessel ever built there. The image transports us back to early 20th-century England, specifically to Cowes on the Isle of Wight where this grand ship was crafted. The graving dock is visible in the background, emphasizing both the scale and intricacy involved in constructing such a remarkable vessel. Notably associated with esteemed figures like Edgar WP Kirk and William Umpleby Kirk, this steam yacht belonged to Lord Howard de Walden, also known as Thomas Scott Ellis. Its elegant design and craftsmanship reflect an era when water transport represented both luxury and practicality. As we admire this monochrome photograph capturing a moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over centuries. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our timeless fascination with exploring new horizons across land and sea.
