Description: | Ship portrait. Oil painting of the full-rigged ship Deva' in starboard-broadside view, flying a house flag of the number '2' on a white field within a blue border, and her code number. Her name is painted on the hull. Shakespeare Cliff and Dover Castle are in the far right background, with what may be part of the pier at Dover: This is likely to be the Admiralty Pier first completed in 1854, but extended in 1864 and this picture may be about that time, since it is also shown more complete in BHC3363 (also by Spencer) of 1872. The painting appears to be signed 'H B Spencer' in the lower right corner but no artist of that name is known and the style is consistent with R.B. Spencer.
