EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning 15 Metre class sailing yacht Paula III, created in 1913 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. Designed by the renowned Charles Nicholson, this masterpiece of maritime engineering was fitted with the innovative Marconi topmast, a feature also seen on other notable vessels like Istria and Pamela. The image captures Paula III in all her glory as she gracefully glides through the waters of The Solent, off the coast of England's Isle of Wight. With her gaff rig sails fully deployed and close hauled against the wind, she epitomizes elegance and power. The craftsmanship evident in every detail is a testament to Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk's dedication to their craft. This monochrome photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this historic sailing yacht but also its significance as a mode of transportation during that era. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to early 20th-century England when yachting was both a leisurely pursuit for aristocrats and an arena for fierce competition among sailors. The legacy left behind by William Umpleby Kirk is one that continues to inspire awe today.
