EDITORS COMMENTS
The firefloat Delta II, a remarkable creation by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1912. This print captures the essence of early 20th-century England, showcasing the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Arthur Henry Kirk and his team. The Delta II stands proudly on the water, its sleek design exuding power and elegance. With its starboard bow facing forward, this monochrome image allows us to appreciate every detail of this motorboat's construction. Its sturdy build suggests it was built to withstand any challenge that came its way. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the sound of water splashing against its hull as it glides through the waves. The location is none other than Cowes on the Isle of Wight - a place known for its rich maritime history. It is here that Kirk & Sons honed their skills and left an indelible mark on boat-building heritage. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of our transportation past but also highlights how fireboats played a crucial role in safeguarding communities from devastating fires during that era. The Delta II symbolizes both progress and protection. Let us cherish this extraordinary piece of history captured by William Umpleby Kirk with admiration for his artistry behind the lens.
