EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent hydroplane Brunhilde, a true testament to the innovation and craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes. Built by S. E. Saunders on the picturesque Isle of Wight, this 49ft beauty was commissioned as a successor to the record-breaking Ursula by none other than the Duke of Westminster himself. With its sleek design and six-step Fauber type hydroplane construction, Brunhilde epitomizes speed and elegance in water transport during the early 20th century. The image captures her from a boat view, revealing her starboard quarter as she gracefully glides through pristine waters near Cowes. The Duke's passion for high-speed sport is evident in his choice of this motorboat masterpiece. Its powerful engine propels it forward with remarkable agility, making it an exhilarating ride for anyone fortunate enough to experience it. Set against a monochrome backdrop that adds depth and nostalgia to the scene, this photograph transports us back in time to an era when boating was not just a means of transportation but also an expression of status and adventure. As we admire this historic snapshot, let us appreciate not only Kirk & Sons' exceptional craftsmanship but also their contribution to maritime heritage. This print serves as a reminder that even today, these timeless vessels continue to inspire awe and admiration among enthusiasts worldwide.
