EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1952, capturing a historic moment in speedboat history. The image showcases the first picture ever taken of the White Hawk speedboat at full throttle, gliding effortlessly on its hydrofins with its main body-work soaring above the water's surface. It is an awe-inspiring sight that perfectly encapsulates the cutting-edge technology and innovation of that era. Owned and operated by Frank and Jean Hanning Lee, this remarkable vessel was a true marvel of engineering. Designed with hydrofoils for enhanced stability and reduced drag, it pushed boundaries in terms of speed and performance. This particular photograph was taken during their world record attempt on Lake Windermere in England's picturesque Lake District. The image exudes a sense of exhilaration as we witness this sleek machine defying gravity, leaving behind a trail of foamy waves in its wake. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for pushing limits. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when dreams were realized through daring feats like these. It reminds us that even amidst technological advancements today, there will always be moments from our past that continue to inspire us with their audacity and sheer brilliance.
