Description: | Ship portrait. Oil painting of the clipper 'Louisa Fletcher' in port-broadside view. apparently with Rudyerd's Eddystone lighouse seen under her bow. She is identified by her name on the hull and is flying her code number. The house flag may be that of Money, Wigram and Co. - that is, a St George cross defaced by a blue square at centre, though the corners of the square usually extend into the white quadrants of the flag. The ship has double topsails which suggests an 1870s date (and the Eddystone tower was replaced in the early 1880s by Douglass's lighthouse).
