EDITORS COMMENTS
The 6 ton ketch Shona gracefully glides through the waters, her sails billowing in the wind. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty and elegance of this magnificent sailing boat. Originally named Outis, Shona underwent a transformation in 1921 when she was renamed by her proud owners. Designed by Albert R. Luke and skillfully built at Luke & Co at Hamble in 1914, this vessel is a true testament to craftsmanship and nautical engineering. The photograph was expertly captured by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their ability to capture the essence of seafaring vessels. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to the vibrant era of the 1920s. As we gaze upon this picture-perfect scene, we can almost feel the gentle spray on our faces and hear the rhythmic creaking of wooden planks beneath our feet. The gaff rigging stands tall against a backdrop that hints at England's picturesque Isle of Wight. This snapshot encapsulates not just a boat under sail but also an entire era defined by adventure and exploration on waterways around the world. It serves as a reminder that even today, amidst modern transportation marvels, there is still something magical about harnessing nature's power to navigate across vast oceans.
