Homecoming Triumph - Maiden Returns to the UK, May 28th, 1990
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Nigel Wright, history is immortalized as the iconic yacht Maiden sails into British waters. The date is May 28th, 1990, and after an awe-inspiring journey around the world, Maiden's all-woman crew proudly brings her back to her homeland. At the center of attention stands Maiden herself - a magnificent vessel adorned with vibrant orange, grey, and white sails. The name "Jordan" gracefully adorns one of the white sails; a testament to both sponsorship and solidarity. Tracy Edwards, a remarkable woman at just 27 years old, skillfully skippered this trailblazing crew for nine months across treacherous oceans. Their determination paid off when they secured second place in their class during the prestigious Whitbread Around The World Race. As Maiden approaches Southampton on this momentous day, she is accompanied by a jubilant convoy of small boats that eagerly escort her home. From above in an aerial view captured by Wright's lens, we witness waves crashing against her hull as she slices through the water with incredible speed. This image symbolizes not only an extraordinary sporting achievement but also represents female empowerment and breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated fields. It serves as a reminder that dreams know no boundaries when passion fuels ambition. Nigel Wright's photograph encapsulates this historic event forever etched in our memories – celebrating courage and resilience while inspiring generations
