The steam yacht Amazon gracefully glides through the waters, showcasing its elegant design and powerful presence. This print captures a moment in time during the early 20th century when this magnificent vessel was under way. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned shipbuilders of their time, the Amazon stands as a testament to their craftsmanship. Measuring an impressive 102 feet (31 meters) in length, this screw schooner was built in 1885 at Tankerville Chamberlayne's private Arrow Yard in Southampton. The image portrays the broadside view of the yacht, highlighting its sleek lines and sturdy construction. Its monochrome composition adds a timeless charm to the scene. The Amazon represents an era when sailing boats were not only means of transportation but also symbols of luxury and leisure. Owned by Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk, it served as a mode of transport for those seeking adventure or simply enjoying country excursions around England's Isle of Wight. This historic photograph offers us a glimpse into maritime history, reminding us of the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such majestic vessels. It is a tribute to both William Umpleby Kirk's engineering expertise and his father Arthur Henry Kirk's vision for designing exceptional ships.
