EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic racing cutter Terpisichore, built in 1920 by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. With its sleek design and gaff rig sails, this sailing yacht exudes elegance and power as it cuts through the water with precision. Originally named Terpisichore, this remarkable vessel was later renamed Lulworth. The image captures a close-hauled view of the boat, highlighting its impressive size and craftsmanship. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, transporting viewers back to an era when sailing was not only a means of transportation but also a thrilling sport. Located in Cowes on the Isle of Wight in England, Kirk & Sons were renowned for their expertise in building high-performance yachts like Terpisichore. This particular cutter was created by Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk under the watchful eye of William Umpleby Kirk. As we admire this photograph, we can almost feel the wind against our faces and hear the sound of waves crashing against her hull. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with water transport and our constant pursuit of adventure on open seas.
