EDITORS COMMENTS
The 70 ton steam yacht Ombra gracefully glides through the waters of The Solent, showcasing its timeless elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. This stunning print captures a moment in history, as the Ombra sails under way in 1914. Built in 1902 by D & W Henderson & Co. in Glasgow for Baron John Henry William Schroder, this magnificent vessel was a true testament to luxury and sophistication. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, renowned for their exceptional marine engineering skills, every detail of the Ombra exudes opulence. The monochrome image beautifully highlights the sleek lines of the boat's design against the backdrop of England's Isle of Wight. Its broadside view showcases its grandeur as it effortlessly cuts through the water with steam power. Baron Sir John Henry Schroder undoubtedly enjoyed countless memorable voyages aboard this remarkable steam yacht. With William Umpleby Kirk at its helm, known for his expertise in water transport, safety and comfort were assured on every journey. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to an era where such vessels symbolized wealth and adventure. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who crafted these floating works of art.
