EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the American hydroplane Ankle Deep, a remarkable vessel that made waves in 1913. Designed by Tams, Lemoine & Crane and built by Staten Island Shipbuilding Co. , this 32 ft hydroplane was commissioned for Count Mankowski. The image captures Ankle Deep's sleek hull as it glides effortlessly through the waters of Osborne Bay during the British International Trophy event, also known as the Harmsworth Trophy. Powered by two Stock model 150 hp, eight-cylinder Sterling engines, this hydroplane possessed immense power and speed. Its creators, Kirk & Sons of Cowes - Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk - crafted a masterpiece that showcased their expertise in boat design. William Umpleby Kirk played an instrumental role in bringing this magnificent creation to life. As we gaze at this monochrome photograph from a bygone era, we are transported back to a time when motorboats were revolutionizing transportation on waterways. The United States' ingenuity shines through with Ankle Deep's presence at such an esteemed international event. The Isle of Wight serves as the backdrop for this historic moment captured on film. This print is not just a testament to technological advancements but also represents the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined early 20th-century America. It stands as a reminder of our nation's rich maritime heritage and its contribution to global innovation in water transport.
