Hand-coloured lithograph depicting the clipper chip Dreadnought off Tuskar Light (in Co. Wrexford) at night, with a bright moon encircled by dark clouds, and another 3 masted ship in the background on the right. Dreadnought was strongly built with a view to carrying a large spread of canvas in very strong winds. In this she was outstanding, but even more exceptional than the ship was her commander, Captain Samuel Samuels, and both are described at length by Basil Lubbock in 'Western Ocean Packets'. Lithographs showing this ship had a ready sale. She was the most successful ship of the Red Cross, or St George's Cross, Line. Medium includes gum arabic.
