Description
English: The barque J P Smith

J. P. Smith (ship, fl.1838) formerly the Manoah. The J. P. Smith, a barque of 776 tons, measuring I 56 x 34 x 20ft., was built as the Manoah.[1]

A ship’s portrait of the barque ‘J.P.Smith’ shown broadside-on and under sail. The initials of her name are visible on the flag flying from the main mast, and a number of figures can be seen on the deck. The artist has shown the ‘J.P.Smith’ with other boats in the distance, including a paddle steamer on the far left with coastline beyond. This may show the coast near Liverpool where the artist lived and worked. The ‘J.P.Smith’ was originally known as the ‘Manoah’.

The painting is signed and dated in lower left: ‘S. Walters 1840’.
