The Sailing Ship Anne Leaving the River Tyne, 1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of anticipation and excitement as the majestic vessel prepares to embark on a trading journey to the Mediterranean. Painted by John Scott in 1859, this oil on canvas print showcases the ship Anne being towed from the River Tyne by a steam paddle-tug. As she sets sail, the two large sails are strategically set at angles, allowing them to blow in opposite directions and keep her still. The owner of the ship, Henry Milvain, may be seen among a group of people in a rowing boat returning to port after bidding farewell. It was customary for farewell parties to take place onboard before long sea voyages. Two sailors can be spotted up the masts removing gaskets from the sails so they can unfurl and catch wind. Flying proudly from her foremast is the Blue Peter flag, signaling that preparations for departure are underway. This painting not only depicts maritime beauty but also highlights various elements such as coastline, waves, rigging, and coastal life. With its meticulous attention to detail and skillful brushwork, "The Sailing Ship Anne Leaving the River Tyne" transports viewers back in time to an era when sailing ships ruled these waters with grace and elegance.
