EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Modwenas motor launch with the magnificent barque sailing ship, Modwena, in the background. The year was 1911 when this stunning image was captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. The Modwena, a remarkable 135 ft barque sailing ship, had been constructed just three years prior in Glasgow by John Reid. However, it wasn't until 1912 that she found herself under new ownership - none other than sewing machine magnate Mortimer Singer who transformed her into his private yacht. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see the motor launch gracefully gliding through the water as Modwena stands tall and proud behind her. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to the scene while allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes served as the backdrop for this picturesque moment on water transport history. It is evident that Kirk & Sons were masters at capturing maritime beauty with their lens. As we delve into this photograph from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when sailboats ruled the seas and elegant ships like Modwena represented both luxury and adventure. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with transportation across vast bodies of water.
