EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print captures a truly unconventional sight - the Cyclone yacht, demonstrated by Pilcher of London and Wilson of Dublin at Southampton in 1897. What sets this yacht apart from others of its time is the addition of a parasol, not just for shade but also as a means to sail the boat. The innovative design not only provides protection from sunburn but also serves as a unique form of transport on the water.
The image showcases the intersection of technology and leisure during this period in history, with Pilcher and Wilson proudly demonstrating their creation to onlookers. The sleek lines of the yacht, combined with the striking parasol feature, make for an eye-catching display that surely turned heads back in 1897.
As we look back on this moment in maritime history, we are reminded of how ingenuity and creativity have always driven progress in transportation. The Parasol Yacht stands as a testament to human innovation and our endless quest for new ways to navigate our world.
Thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library, we are able to glimpse into this intriguing chapter from the past and appreciate the spirit of exploration that continues to inspire us today.
