EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic 186-ton steam yacht Narcissus, a true masterpiece created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes. Built in 1904 by Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. Ltd, this vessel exudes elegance and grandeur. In 1915, the Admiralty requisitioned Narcissus for use as an Auxiliary Patrol Vessel during World War I. The photograph captures the Narcissus at anchor, proudly displaying its starboard broadside. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable ship. Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk expertly captured the essence of this momentous vessel. Located off the coast of England on the picturesque Isle of Wight, Cowes serves as a fitting backdrop for such a magnificent creation. William Umpleby Kirk's skillful composition highlights both the beauty of Narcissus and its harmonious integration with nature. As we gaze upon this historic artifact from early 20th-century transportation history, we are transported back in time to an era when steam yachts ruled the waters. This print is not only a testament to craftsmanship but also a reminder of how ships like Narcissus played vital roles in maritime endeavors throughout history.
