EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming scene from the early 1900s, captured during Cowes Week in August 1902 on the Isle of Wight. The photograph depicts a group of elegantly dressed women making their way down the steps of the Squadron Castle, ready to embark on a day of yachting and boating activities. The Castle, a grand Victorian mansion, served as the headquarters for the Royal Yacht Squadron, a prestigious yacht club based in Cowes. The women, donning fashionable Edwardian costumes, are adorned with large hats, long skirts, and gloves, reflecting the social norms and trends of the time. As they leave the castle, they are met with the picturesque view of the coastline and the sparkling blue sea. The sight of the women in their summer attire, combined with the backdrop of the castle and the water, exudes an air of leisure and sophistication. Cowes Week, an annual sailing regatta, is a significant event in the yachting calendar, attracting participants from all over the world. The women in this photograph are likely members of the aristocracy or affluent society, enjoying the sport and social scene of the week-long event. The scene is a testament to the popularity of yachting as a leisure activity for the wealthy during the Edwardian era. The photograph, taken in 1902, captures a moment in time, preserving the history and traditions of Cowes Week and the yachting community on the Isle of Wight.
