EDITORS COMMENTS
The Yawl Wendur gracefully glides through the waters, its spinnaker billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty and elegance of sailing in the early 20th century. Built by D & W Henderson & Co. Glasgow in 1883, Wendur stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and timeless design. The Kirk & Sons of Cowes expertly captured this stunning vessel with their lens, highlighting every intricate detail from her gaff rig to her cutter shape. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Isle of Wight, England, this monochrome image transports us back to an era when sailboats ruled the seas. With William Umpleby Kirk at helm and Edgar WP Kirk overseeing operations, Wendur confidently sails downwind with Lee broadside exposed. The breezy weather adds an element of excitement as Wendur effortlessly harnesses nature's power to propel forward. It is a true testament to man's harmonious relationship with water transport. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of the rich maritime history that surrounds us. The Yawl Wendur serves as a symbol not only for transportation but also for adventure and exploration on open waters. This print invites us into a world where time slows down and allows us to appreciate both artistry and engineering marvels that have stood the test of time.
