Description: | Ship portraiture was a strong tradition in Victorian painting. Britain in the nineteenth century was at the height of her maritime power, and, when Victoria came to the throne, was the greatest industrial and trading nation on earth. Despite the gradual change from sail to steam train, the great ships still presented a romantic image associated with wealth, exploration and power.

In the distance are sails from other boats. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Sea transport Fine arts Oil painting Oil Paintings Shipping Highlights Victorian period Art collections | Temporal: | 1851
