EDITORS COMMENTS
The 8-metre Ierne gracefully glides through the waters, her spinnaker billowing in the wind. This stunning print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the artistry of Kirk & Sons of Cowes. The year is 1913, and sailing enthusiasts gather to witness this magnificent vessel in action. Designed by William Fife III and built by Arthur Henry Kirk, the Ierne exemplifies elegance and speed. With her gaff rig and sleek lines, she embodies the spirit of yachting during the early 20th century. As one of several boats adhering to the International Rule measurement system, she represents a golden era for competitive sailing. The location is none other than Cowes on England's Isle of Wight – a renowned hub for maritime activities. Here, Edgar WP Kirk skillfully captures this monochrome image that transports us back to an era when sailboats dominated water transport. This photograph showcases not only a beautiful yacht but also pays homage to skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations at Kirk & Sons of Cowes. It serves as a reminder that sailing is not just a sport but an art form where man-made creations harmonize with nature's elements. As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the timeless allure and enduring legacy left behind by vessels like the 8-metre Ierne.
