The Clipper Ship Orwell 1109 Tons
A starboard broadside view of the ‘Orwell’ clipper under sail. In the distance, a two-masted ship on the left and cliffs of the right. Coloured lithograph.
The ‘Orwell’ was one of four ships of Richard Green’s Blackwall Line not built either in the Blackwall Yard or by the Pile at Sunderland. She was put in the Australian trade, but in 1873 when she went missing on a West Indian voyage, she was owned by Goodwin of Ardrossan (Basil Lubbock, The Blackwall Frigates, p. 267-68).
