This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the Gipsy Moth IV yacht on public display at Greenwich in 1969. The vessel gained worldwide fame when Sir Francis Chichester used it to complete the first solo circumnavigation of the globe via the three great capes between 1966 and 1967. The image shows the white hull and intricate rigging of the yacht, with the name “GIPSY MOTH IV” clearly visible on the bow alongside the iconic spiral logo. A young boy in a striped shirt leans over the deck railing, while other visitors, including a woman in a vibrant red striped dress, admire the ship from the dockside. In the background, the historic grey stone architecture of the Royal Naval College area provides a stately setting for this celebration of British maritime achievement. This digital download is a significant record of nautical history, perfect to print for yourself as an inspiring piece of vintage wall art.
