Signed 'G.F. Gregory 1874' (lower left); old gallery label for W.B. Simpson, Glasgow, behind
Watercolour and pencil
21½ x 35in. (54.5 x 89cm.)
Built in 1869 by J.G. Lawrie of Glasgow for the unlucky Loch Line's United Kingdom-Australia service - most of their 25 vessels brushed with disaster or disappeared and Loch Katrine, an iron ship registered at 1200 tons, seems to have been typical; In 1907, she was nearly lost outbound to Australia: Heavy seas smashed the lifeboats and broke the cabin skylights, men at the helm were washed away and the ship broached filling her main deck to the rail - all hands were called to save her. In 1910 she was dismasted off Cape Howe and picked up by a Swedish Steamer; later that year she was sold for carrying coal around the Australian coastline and subsequently taken to Rabaul and sunk as a breakwater

THOMAS BUSH HARDY (BRITISH, 1842-1897)
H.M.S. 'St. Vincent' Off Portsmouth at Sunset
Signed and inscribed 'T B Hardy / HMS St. Vincent, Portsmouth' (lower left)
Watercolour
26 x 41in. (66 x 104cm.)
H.M.S. St. Vincent, a large First Rate of 2,612 tons and designed to mount 120 guns, was laid down at Plymouth in May 1810 and launched on 11th March 1815. By that date however the Napoleonic Wars were effectively over and, with plans already in hand to reduce the activities of the fleet, she was laid up "in Ordinary" until first commissioned in February 1831 for service with the Mediterranean Fleet. Almost wrecked in February 1834 when she was driven ashore during a tremendous storm off Malta, she was eventually refloated and returned home where she was paid off. Recommissioned for the Channel Squadron in 1841, she was frequently in Portsmouth where she was twice visited by Queen Victoria in 1842 and 1847. During the 1842 visit, she acted as flagship to the 'Experimental Squadron' at the last Royal Review of a fleet in which all the major vessels were sailing ships
After minor alterations in 1850, she took part in the war in the Baltic in 1854 having first carried 1,300 French troops from Calais for the offensive in the Aland Islands. When Bomarsund, the principal fortress there, surrendered on 16th August, St. Vincent returned to Portsmouth with Russian prisoners-of-war aboard her, this operation marking the end of her sea service. Re-employed first as Guardship of the Ordinary and then as Reserve Depot Ship at Portsmouth, in 1862 she became a training ship for boys and was given a permanent mooring off the entrance to Haslar Creek in Portsmouth Harbour where she is depicted in this picture, attended by a steam launch. Eventually worn out by generations of naval apprentices, she held her last passing-out parade on 18th December 1905 and, on 1st March 1906, was removed from her moorings prior to being towed to Falmouth where she was broken up that summer
