This print showcases the majestic Steam yacht Branwen, a true marvel of its time. Built in 1905 at the renowned John I. Thornycroft & Company's Woolston yard, this vessel marked an important milestone in maritime history as the first ship constructed at that particular location. Measuring an impressive 135 feet in length overall, Branwen exudes elegance and sophistication with its sleek design and impeccable craftsmanship. The creators behind this masterpiece were none other than Kirk & Sons of Cowes, led by talented individuals such as Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk. The image captures Branwen docked at the picturesque Isle of Wight in England. It is seen resting gracefully within a graving dock, surrounded by the tranquil waters that have witnessed countless voyages throughout history. The scene evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when steam yachts ruled the seas. Owned by Lord Howard de Walden, also known as Thomas Scott Ellis, this steam yacht symbolizes both luxury and adventure. Its presence on these shores serves as a reminder of Britain's rich maritime heritage and its enduring love affair with water transport. Preserved through time, this monochrome photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Branwen but also pays homage to all those involved in her creation – from William Umpleby Kirk to every skilled hand that contributed to her construction. Let it serve as a testament to their dedication and passion for creating vessels that continue to captivate our imag
