Lifeboat_-_Red_White_And_Blue_-_crew.JPG

Summary

Description

Cropped section from an engraving of the ship's lifeboat Red, White And Blue , with moulded galvanised iron hull and barque rig, made by Ingersoll. The ship is shown being displayed in The Crystal Palace, London, with her crew Captain J.M. Hudson (left), and mate Francis E. Fitch (right). Fitch is holding the ship horn, which was engraved as a memento of the transatlantic crossing of 1866, and had presumably been received as a presentation in England.

Note: in the 19th century, the bowler hat worn by the captain indicated rank, and the tarred hat worn by the mate indicated a sailor.
