Lowestoft Trawler 'Forget-me-not'

+ -

Woolwork picture of Lowestoft trawler 'Forget-me-not', shown against a cloudless sky of a very faded blue. She is flying a name pennant and her number 'LT 30' is on the sail and the side of the ship. The picture is worked on long and short stitch with the rigging in button thread. The embroidery is framed.

'Forget-me-not' was a ketch built in 1883 by J. W. and A. Upham of Brixham, and owned by William H. Painter of 31 Clapton Road, Lowestoft. She disappeared from the Fisherman's Nautical Almanac around 1909. A similar vessel of the same name arrived in Tristan da Cunha on 24 October 1908, bound for South Africa where it was intended to sell her. She had been bought by one or more of the crew.
