EDITORS COMMENTS
The steam yacht Catrina gracefully rests at anchor in the picturesque waters of Cowes, Isle of Wight, England in 1912. Captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this print showcases the timeless beauty of maritime transport during the early 20th century. The Catrina, a magnificent schooner with its sleek design and elegant sails, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation of Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk. The duo's shipbuilding expertise is evident in every detail of this monochrome image. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to an era when steam yachts like Catrina were symbols of luxury and leisure for those fortunate enough to experience them. With its port broadside view, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against her hull and feel the cool sea breeze on our faces. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to William Umpleby Kirk's contribution as he played an integral role alongside his father Arthur Henry Kirk. Together they established Kirk & Sons as one of Cowes' most renowned shipbuilding companies. Let us cherish this remarkable piece that encapsulates both history and artistry – a testament to man's enduring fascination with water transport.
