Part of R.S. Thomas Album III; stored with PAH4369, PAH4371-PAH4406.

Note: Hotspur may have been launched at Hull in 1830. However, the identification given here is uncertain as the vessel in Lloyd's Register is listed as a barque, but also as "London Transport" in the Register of 1838-39, before she was removed from London to Blyth. She continued to be registered as a barque until her disappearance from the Registers in 1843-44. She was then converted to a government transport and this may be the period when she was sketched by R.S. Thomas.
