EDITORS COMMENTS
Lorna, a testament to maritime history. This print showcases the steam yacht Lorna, an elegant vessel that was crafted by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1911. Originally named Beryl when completed in 1904 at Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company on the River Clyde in Scotland, this remarkable ship underwent a transformation during the outbreak of war in August 1914. Requisitioned and hired by the Admiralty as an armed patrol vessel, Lorna played her part in protecting our country's waters during those tumultuous times. The image captures her majestically anchored off the coast of Cowes on the Isle of Wight, proudly displaying her broadside view. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from the early 20th century. It is evident that Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk skillfully captured not only a sailboat but also a piece of British heritage. The craftsmanship invested into every detail is apparent - from Lorna's sleek design to her sturdy build. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an era where steam yachts ruled the waves with their grace and power. Let us appreciate this stunning portrayal of transportation history as it reminds us of our nation's resilience and ingenuity.
