EDITORS COMMENTS
A Dog Watch: An Illustration of Yachting Terms from the Early 1900s This charming and humorous illustration, titled "A Dog Watch," dates back to the early 1900s and offers a unique insight into the nautical terminology of the time. The image, created by Percy Vernon Bradshaw for P.V.B. (Percy Vernon Bradshaw & Co.), depicts a nervous yachtsman standing at the helm of his vessel, his eyes fixed on the horizon with a furrowed brow. His expression suggests that he is on the lookout for danger, perhaps during a dog watch. The term "dog watch" originated from the practice of splitting the night watch into three four-hour periods, with the middle one being called the "dog watch" because it was the longest and most dangerous time for sailors to be at sea. In this illustration, however, the danger comes not from the sea but from a scruffy bulldog chained up in a kennel on the deck. The dog's fierce and angry demeanor is evident in its bared teeth, straining at the leash, and intense gaze. Despite the potential threat posed by the dog, the illustration also exudes a sense of humor and playfulness. The dogwatch term itself lends itself to a pun, with the word "dog" being used both as a noun referring to the animal and as a verb meaning to keep watch. The image also features other nautical terms illustrated in a similar humorous style, adding to the visual and pun-filled nature of the print. Overall, "A Dog Watch" is a delightful and intriguing glimpse into the world of yachting terminology from over a century ago. The illustration's combination of humor, visual puns, and nautical terminology makes it a fascinating and entertaining addition to any collection of maritime art or historical references.
