Step back in time to 1913 with this print of the Mitcham launch on a slipway. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes, this remarkable image showcases the craftsmanship and ingenuity of Arthur Henry Kirk and Edgar WP Kirk, two prominent figures in boatbuilding during the early 20th century. Set against the picturesque backdrop of England's Isle of Wight, this monochrome snapshot captures a moment frozen in history. The meticulously constructed motor launch takes center stage as it rests upon the slipway, ready to conquer the waters that lie ahead. Its sleek design and attention to detail exemplify the skillful artistry employed by Kirk & Sons.
