Found in Portsmouth Museum. Dated 1870!

I see her in the background, four and a cox

Certainly looks like a galley.

Yes, it's very clear,  between Clarence Pier and the Steamer....and maybe there are some others waiting on the beach?
Thanks Tom,  interesting painting.  The artist must have been at sea on another craft,  rapidly sketching the whole view, in order to return home to paint I suppose?

I can just make out Sallyport written on her side 🤭 are those Victorian bathing huts behind her ?

Looks like it, how wonderful. A painting full of interest Tom.

I have a print  of this picture which Steve bought from a charity shop. Geoff made a frame for it for me a couple of years ago. I could bring it to Trafalgar night for people to see if you are interested?

That would be great. Yes please Rachel x

Yes please, I would like to see the detail of the boats on the beach. Thanks, Michael
