An unfinished drawing of the Japanese battleship 'Kashima' seen from fine off her starboard quarter. She was built by Armstrong-Whitworth & Co. on the Tyne, launched on 22 March 1905 and completed on 23 May 1906. She is shown in her 1906 condition prior to leaving the UK for Japan. Armstong also built her sister-ship 'Katori' at the same time and both revisted Britain in 1921 bringing Crown Prince Hirohito on an official visit. Wyllie's two known related oils of both vessels during that occasion are in the Museum of the Imperial Collections (Imperial Household Agency), Tokyo: for further notes see PAF1874, which is probably also 'Kashima' from bow-on in the same vertical format.
