Historic Smyrna
A rare example of a painting of Smyrna |
To the left is a rare
painting of the Smyrna, through our research to date perhaps
the only painting of the Clippership Smyrna in existance.
This example here is courtesy of Aberdeen Art Gallery &
Museums collections sourced by Dave Wendes. Smyrna was competed
in Oct 1876 and launched as a wool clipper for the Australian
trading market. Her best voyage was in 1886 when she left
Sydney on the 18th January and reached London on the 30th
April, a voyage lasting 96 days! The wreck is certainly one
of the classic dives of the English Channel and one of the
only finest examples of a Clipper that we know off.
