EDITORS COMMENTS
The steam yacht Laranda gracefully glides through the waters, a testament to both its elegant design and the remarkable craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes. Originally named Greta and built by Scott & Co at Greenock in 1895, Laranda found herself under the ownership of Sir Percival Perry, chairman of Ford Motor Company in Britain, at the time this photograph was taken. Captured in black and white by Arthur Henry Kirk, this monochrome print exudes a timeless charm that transports us back to an era when steam yachts ruled the seas. The port broadside view showcases Laranda's sleek lines and impressive scale against the picturesque backdrop of England's Isle of Wight. As we gaze upon this historic vessel, we can't help but marvel at how it symbolizes both industry and leisure. A true masterpiece of engineering, Laranda represents not only technological advancements but also embodies a luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by those who had achieved great success during that century. This print serves as a window into history; it allows us to appreciate not just the beauty of maritime transport but also offers insight into Sir Percival Perry's passion for exploration and adventure on water. Let us cherish this image as a reminder of our rich nautical heritage.
