EDITORS COMMENTS
Norada, Britannia & Maudrey gracefully sail through gentle winds off the coast of Cowes in 1913. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the beauty and elegance of these magnificent sailing yachts. Designed by renowned naval architects George Lennox Watson and William Umpleby Kirk, Norada, Britannia & Maudrey were among the finest examples of their class during the early 20th century. With their sleek lines and gaff rigging, they epitomized the golden age of sailing. In this image, we witness King George V himself at the helm of Britannia, his beloved racing yacht. The Prince of Wales also graces this scene as he confidently navigates Norada alongside his royal companions. These vessels were not only symbols of prestige but also testaments to British craftsmanship and innovation. The Isle of Wight's picturesque coastline provides a stunning backdrop for this regal display on water. As these majestic boats glide effortlessly through calm seas, one can almost feel the tranquility that enveloped them amidst those doldrums. This remarkable photograph is a testament to both Arthur Henry Kirk's skill behind the lens and his ability to capture such timeless moments. It serves as a reminder of an era when yachting was not just a sport but also an expression of national pride.
