This print captures the majestic sight of two legendary schooners, Westward and Bluenose, in 1935. The foreground is dominated by the sleek silhouette of Westward, while the visiting Canadian racing and fishing schooner Bluenose stands tall behind it. The image was expertly captured by Arthur Henry Kirk, showcasing his talent for capturing the beauty of boats on water. The scene takes place off the coast of Cowes, England, against a backdrop of serene waters and an overcast sky. Both vessels are seen close hauled with their sails billowing in the wind as they engage in a thrilling race. The gaff rigging adds to their elegance and emphasizes their sailing prowess. Westward's Lee bow cuts through the water effortlessly as it competes against its Canadian counterpart. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the excitement and intensity of competitive sailing during this era. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this image, allowing viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic value. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature's power for sport and transportation. This remarkable print is not only a visual delight but also a tribute to these iconic schooners that have left an indelible mark on maritime history.
