The Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company's Screw Steam Ship Madras
Hand-coloured. The'Madras' is shown prominently in the left-centre of the painting, cruising off Eddystone Light under steam and sail. She proved to be fast and steady and had a long career with Peninsular & Oriental before being finally sold to the Japanese, who converted her to sail and re-named 'Kanagawa Maru'. She was placed under the management of Mitsibushi Mail Steamship Company. In 1896 she was laid up in Nagasaki, but soon after was sent to sea and wrecked.
