EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 Metre Peterkin gracefully cuts through the waves, defying the wind as it sails upwind in this photograph. Taken in 1914 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, this print captures a moment frozen in time. The Peterkin is a testament to the skill and artistry of Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk. Designed according to the International Rule, this sailing yacht showcases their expertise in creating vessels that excel both in performance and elegance. With its Bermuda rig and sleek lines, the Peterkin embodies the spirit of yachting during the early 20th century. Close hauled against the wind, its sails billow majestically as it navigates through England's waters near Isle of Wight. This monochrome image transports us back to an era when sailing was not only a sport but also a symbol of prestige and adventure. The Peterkin represents more than just a boat; it represents freedom on water – an escape from everyday life into uncharted territories. As we admire this vintage print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also acknowledge William Umpleby Kirk's contribution to preserving our maritime heritage. This photograph serves as a reminder of how transport on water has evolved over time while still capturing our imagination with its timeless allure.
