No wind for the 8 Metre class The Truant, Spero and The Antwerpia IV, 25th May 1912
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a serene day in history - the 25th of May, 1912. As we gaze upon the image, we witness a moment frozen in time when three magnificent sailing yachts find themselves becalmed on the waters surrounding Cowes, Isle of Wight. The Truant, Spero, and The Antwerpia IV stand proudly side by side with their gaff rigs majestically displayed against the clear sky. These elegant vessels represent the epitome of early 20th-century yacht design under William Fife III's skilled craftsmanship. Despite their grandeur and impeccable construction, these boats appear motionless as they patiently await a breeze that refuses to grace them. Their sails hang limp like ghostly apparitions against an otherwise picturesque backdrop. In this tranquil scene captured by Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk Sons of Cowes, one can almost hear the gentle lapping of water against wooden hulls while sailors anxiously scan the horizon for any sign of wind. It is a testament to both man's ingenuity and nature's unpredictability. As we admire this snapshot from another era, it serves as a reminder that even in moments devoid of action or movement; there is still beauty to be found.
