EDITORS COMMENTS
The ketch Cariad and schooner Irma, two majestic vessels of the early 20th century, engage in a thrilling race downwind. This photo print, captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1911, showcases the sheer beauty and power of these sailing yachts. Cariad, meaning 'Sweetheart' in Welsh, was meticulously crafted by Summers & Payne in Southampton for Lord Dunraven back in 1896. With its gaff rig and elegant design, it epitomizes the grandeur of sailboat engineering during that era. Irma, on the other hand, stands tall as a magnificent schooner with her sleek lines and impressive size. As they glide through the waters off the Isle of Wight in England's picturesque Cowes region – known for its rich maritime heritage – both boats proudly display their sails against a backdrop of endless blue sky. The intense competition between them is palpable; every crew member is fully dedicated to securing victory. This monochrome image perfectly captures a moment frozen in time: two remarkable vessels locked in an exhilarating duel amidst wind and waves. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of sailing as well as showcasing Kirk & Sons' exceptional talent for capturing such breathtaking scenes. Whether you are an avid sailor or simply appreciate timeless nautical beauty, this print will transport you back to an era when wind-powered transportation ruled the seas.
