Speedy Estelle - A Glimpse into the Thrilling World of Powerboat Racing
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a momentous occasion in powerboat racing history. The year is 1928, and we find ourselves at a bustling shipyard in Cowes, England. In the foreground stands the magnificent Saunders-Napier motor boat named Estelle 1, its sleek design hinting at the incredible speed it possesses. The owner of this remarkable vessel is none other than Miss Marion Betty Carstairs, a trailblazing woman who defies societal norms with her passion for speed and adventure. With determination gleaming in her eyes, she prepares to race Estelle 1 in the prestigious British International Trophy Race held all the way across the Atlantic Ocean in Detroit, USA. Miss Carstairs dreams of achieving an unprecedented feat – propelling Estelle 1 to reach an astounding speed of 100 mph on water. This audacious goal reflects both her unwavering spirit and her relentless pursuit of breaking boundaries. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by E. Bacon from Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, we are transported back to an era where daring individuals pushed themselves beyond limits known to mankind. It serves as a testament not only to Miss Carstairs' indomitable courage but also to the technological marvels that were being developed during this time. This print invites us into a world filled with adrenaline-fueled excitement and showcases how human ambition can conquer even nature
