EDITORS COMMENTS
The 40-rater cutter Carina gracefully glides through the water, leaving a mesmerizing wake behind her. This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the beauty and elegance of sailing in the early 20th century. Designed by renowned naval architect George Lennox Watson for Admiral Montagu, Carina was built in 1894 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. With its gaff rig and sleek design, this sailing yacht exemplified both power and grace on the open seas. The image portrays Carina close hauled, with its sails expertly trimmed to catch every gust of wind. The monochrome setting adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the classic charm of this magnificent vessel. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes served as an ideal backdrop for yachting enthusiasts like Edgar WP Kirk and William Umpleby Kirk who captured this stunning moment. Their skillful photography immortalizes not only Carina but also their passion for capturing maritime beauty. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of sailboats and their role in transportation throughout history. It transports us back to an era when sailing was not just a sport but also a way of life—a reminder that even today we can find solace and adventure on the open waters.
