EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6-metre class Wamba II, a magnificent sailing yacht from 1913, captured in this photo print. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, the image showcases the craftsmanship and elegance of this iconic vessel. Designed under the International Rule, Wamba II was one of the finest examples of her time. With her Bermuda rig and sleek lines, Wamba II epitomizes the golden age of yachting in the early 20th century. The close-hauled position seen here demonstrates her exceptional maneuverability and speed on water. This monochrome snapshot transports us back to an era when sailing was not just a sport but also a symbol of prestige. Located off the coast of England on the Isle of Wight, Cowes has long been associated with maritime excellence. The Kirk family's shipbuilding legacy is evident in their meticulous attention to detail showcased in every aspect of Wamba II's design. The creators behind this masterpiece were Arthur Henry Kirk and his son Edgar WP Kirk, along with William Umpleby Kirk who contributed to its construction. Their combined expertise resulted in a yacht that became renowned for its performance and beauty. This image invites us to appreciate both the artistry involved in boat building as well as our enduring fascination with wind-powered transportation on water.
