The Great Days of Yachting: From the Kirk Collection

by Ian Dear

Born in 1844, William Kirk was one of the first photographers of the 19th century to capture the world of yachting on film. Working from his studio on Cowes, Isle of Wight, he was able to photograph royalty and the rich onboard their yachts - from King George V to Mortimer Singer, the sewing machine millionaire, and Bill Stephenson, the Woolworth's chairman.
