Sir Henry Segrave, a true pioneer of speed, captured in this print from 1930. Here we see him proudly seated on his motor boat Miss England, a vessel that became synonymous with his remarkable achievements. On the historic day of March 29th, 1927, Sir Henry etched his name in the annals of history as he shattered barriers and pushed the limits of human capability. Armed with his double-engined Sunbeam boasting an impressive 1000 horsepower, Segrave embarked on a daring journey to Daytona Beach. It was there that he defied all odds and became the first man ever to surpass speeds exceeding 200 mph.

This extraordinary feat did not come without its risks; danger lurked at every turn as Sir Henry fearlessly navigated uncharted waters. Yet it was precisely this audacity that set him apart—a record breaker who fearlessly challenged conventional norms. Transport yourself back to the roaring twenties with this mesmerizing image capturing an era defined by innovation and adventure.
