Description |
English: The Careenage, Grenada.
‘…Illustrated by numerous Coloured Lithographic Drawings, by Dutton, Trery, and Spreat, and printed by Day and Son, in the best style of the art, from Original Sketches and Notes made by W. S. Andrews…’ The Careenage at Bridgetown in Grenada is a canal located in the centre of the city. It is just large enough for pleasure craft or fishing boats to pass and has two main bridges near the city centre. This is one of two lithographic prints, published as illustrations to the book ‘Andrews’ Illustrations of the West Indies: Sailing Directions for the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and Florida’. The publication is partly a collection of attractive lithographic prints, showing landscapes of the Caribbean, and partly a guide for sailors visiting the area, with technical illustrations of the shoreline and details of precise locations in longitude and latitude. The work was written by William Stephen Andrews and the lithographic illustrations were produced by various engravers after drawings by Andrews. The ‘Western Times’ announced the imminent publication of the book in March 1859, describing it as: William Stephen Andrews captained mail steamers for the Royal West India Mail Co. During voyages between the West Indies and Southampton he made sketches, published as ‘Illustrations of the West Indies’ (1859). In 1847 he gained a nautical astronomy master’s at the Royal Naval College. Later that year he became Harbour Master at Lowestoft, constructing the new harbour there. In c.1851 he was employed as Managing Director of the North of Europe Steam Navigation Co. In 1856 he leased a shipyard adjoining Lowestoft Harbour. However, in 1861 he and his brother John appeared at Suffolk County Court for misconduct over the shipbuilding business. John was jailed and Andrews entered Bethel Hospital for Lunatics, Norwich, where he died. |
