John Balfour Pringle - Portrait of a Nova Scotia Barque under full sail, 1868 - the Bark is shown off the Aisla Craig – signed and inscribed "Greenock" - Oil on canvas - 48 x 76 cm (19 by 30 inch) – Private Collection, Northern America

Note: Alisa Craig is a familiar land mark often seen in paintings of the Clyde River School. The painting shows the vessel flying a Lovitt Shipping Company flag. There were several Lovitts who were ship owners in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in the 19th C. Their house flags varied from a red "L" to a blue "WDL" on white grounds. Without code flags or the name of the vessel on the bow, identification is difficult. There were three Lovitt Company barques in Greenock in 1868: the George Bell, the Francis Bourneuf and the Agnes M.Lovitt. Click here or on the image to see larger illustrations.

Sailor`s Woolwork Picture - Anonymous - 11 1/2 x 17 inch (29 x 43 cm) - wool work and embroidery - c. 1870

Note: Sailor's folk art wool work picture or "Woolie" depicting a British ship under full sail with pennants and ensigns flying entering a port. To the left is a light house. This is a classic sailor's woolie, consisting of tightly embroidered strands of wool sewn on a sail canvas background to effectively produce a picture of great detail, color, and clarity. The canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher in the traditional manner, and is housed in its original frame with old original wavy glass. Condition is outstanding for this type of medium, with good color and no evidence of moth damage. This piece was likely produced during the 3rd quarter of the 19th C when warships still had a steam engine only for auxiliary purposes. Click here or on the image to enlarge the picture.
