Footnotes
Although this vessel's name can be identified from her Marryat Code signal flags, a number of two-masters of the same name were in service during this period.
Although there is little known about the artist's life, examples of his work are in the Peabody Museum of Salem, Mass., U.S.A., The National Maritime Museum, San Francisco and three in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, one of which is an almost identical scene to our picture, but in reverse (see 'Concise Catalogue of Oil Paintings in the National Maritime Museum', Antique Collectors' Club, Woodbridge, 1988, illustrated page 283, no. BHC3232).
