Wolseley launch, 1914. The Wolseley Motors company, a British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in early 1901 by Vickers, also built marine power-units for a variety of watercraft.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Wolseley launch, a remarkable creation by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1914. The Wolseley Motors company, renowned for its British motor vehicles, ventured into building marine power-units for various watercraft during this era. Initially collaborating with the esteemed Teddington Launch Works to supply launches, the demand for marine engines grew rapidly. As a result, Wolseley expanded its expertise to design and manufacture engines not only for launches but also hydroplanes, cruisers, passenger ferries, and lifeboats. The photograph showcases the impressive hull of the Wolseley launch as it gracefully glides through the waters of The Solent near Cowes on the Isle of Wight. This masterpiece was crafted by S. E. Saunders Ltd. , further enhancing its allure and craftsmanship. With William Umpleby Kirk at the helm of this engineering marvel, it effortlessly combines both road transport capabilities with exceptional water transport performance. Its powerful engine propels it forward while providing an exhilarating experience to those aboard. This monochrome image transports us back to a time when boating was not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of elegance and sophistication. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich history in both automotive and maritime industries while showcasing Kirk & Sons' mastery in creating such magnificent vessels like the Wolseley launch.
