EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment in sailing history. The image showcases the majestic sailing yachts White Heather and Shamrock as they race downwind with great speed and grace. It is an iconic scene from the 1910s, during the America's Cup competition.

The photograph beautifully portrays these magnificent vessels cutting through the waves off Cowes, Isle of Wight.
