EDITORS COMMENTS
Anitra dressed with flags, 1912. This print captures the majestic Anitra sailing through the waters with an impressive display of flags adorning her masts. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their craftsmanship in boat building during the early 20th century, this image showcases their expertise in capturing both beauty and functionality. The sleek lines of Anitra's hull and her Bermuda rig are a testament to the artistry involved in yacht design at that time. The monochrome palette adds a timeless elegance to the scene, emphasizing every detail from the intricate flag patterns fluttering in the wind to the impeccable craftsmanship evident throughout. This photograph not only immortalizes a moment in history but also reflects a significant era for competitive sailing. With its mention of international rules and racing standards, it hints at Anitra's participation in thrilling regattas where skilled sailors would push their vessels to their limits. Located off England's Isle of Wight, Cowes was known as a hub for yachting enthusiasts during this period. It attracted sailors from all over who sought adventure on these waters while showcasing national pride through beautifully adorned boats like Anitra. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we can't help but be transported back to an era when sailboats ruled supreme and yachting was more than just a sport – it was an expression of skill, passion, and national identity.
