EDITORS COMMENTS
The 142 ton steam yacht Sapphire, built in 1912 for the Duke of Bedford, is captured in this print from 1923. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, the image showcases the grandeur and elegance of this magnificent vessel. Originally constructed by John Brown and Co. Limited of Clydebank, the Sapphire underwent a transformation during World War I when she was requisitioned and converted into an Auxiliary Patrol Vessel. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the picture, emphasizing the rich history behind this remarkable ship. The starboard bow view allows us to appreciate its sleek design as it gracefully cuts through the water. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes served as a picturesque backdrop for many maritime adventures. This photograph is not just a testament to exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as a reminder of an era when steam yachts were symbols of opulence and prestige. It transports us back to the roaring twenties when such vessels represented luxurious travel and leisure. Preserved with care by William Umpleby Kirk, one can only imagine all the stories that unfolded aboard this majestic steamer throughout its lifetime. This image invites viewers to step into history and marvel at both its engineering prowess and aesthetic beauty.
