Clipper ship Cinderella 877 Tons

Inscribed "Clipper Ship Cinderella 877 Tons. To Messrs. T B & S Batchelor, Owners, & E Williams, Commander, this print is most respectfully dedicated by their obedient servant, Wm. Foster". While owned by Batchelor, Cinderella was employed trading to India. In 1867 she was sold to Sloman of Hamburg and renamed Shakespeare. In the 1880s she was converted to a barque, and in 1895 sold to the Argentine and renamed Felis Quebracho. She disappears from Lloyd's Register in 1912 (H Parker Catalogue of the Macpherson Collection unpublished). As the Cinderella and Shakespeare, she sailed to Australia and New Zealand carrying emigrants and was then used by the Argentine Quebracho Company as the Felis Quebracho shipping timber and tannin. Signed by artist in plate.
