Clipper Ship ''Duncan Dunbar'', 1400 Tons. Henry Neatby Commander. [&] Wreck of the ''Duncan Dunbar'' off Las Rocas, Coast of Brazil. October, 8th 1865 [...] Disembarkation of the Passengers, on Sunday Morning, October 8.th 1865. Dedicated by permission to J.B. Swanson, Esq.re R.N.R. Commander.
T.G. Dutton, Del et Lith. Day & Son, Lithr.s to the Queen. [&] From a Sketch Taken on the Spot by J.C. Robinson 2nd Officer.
London, Published by W.m Foster, 114 Fenchurch Street [n.d., c.1857]. [&] London, Published by Day & Son (Limited) Chromolithographers, Gate Street, W.C. [n.d., c.1865].
Coloured lithograph. Framed, sight size 360 x 475mm (14¼ x 18¾"). With a chromolithograph. Framed, sight size 365 x 465mm (14¼ x 18¼"). Unexamined out of frames.
The 'Duncan Dunbar', built at Sunderland for Duncan Dunbar & Co, was launched in 1857 and engaged in the passenger and cargo trade between England and Australia. In October 1865, on route from London to Sydney with seventy passengers (including thirty-five women and children) and a crew of forty-seven, she ran on to Rocas Shoals off Cape San Roque. Attempts were made to back her off, then float her free by throwing cargo overboard, but by next flood tide she had canted over and filled. At dawn the entire ship's complement landed safely on a small section of the reef which remained above high water, and over the next few days the three boats which remained intact were used to land stores from the wreck. Meanwhile, Captain Swanson, the mate and seven seamen had left in one of the boats to obtain assistance at Pernambuco. They were picked up by the American ship Hayara and dropped near Pernambuco where they obtained help from the British Consul. On 17 October the Royal Mail Packet steamer Oneida sighted the castaways, took them on board and landed at Southampton about three weeks later. Very scarce pair with Brazilian interest.

H.M.S. Warspite, 50 Guns, in a Gale of Wind. To the Right Hon.ble Lord John Hay, this print is respectfully dedicated by his Lordship's very obedient humble servant N.M. Condy.
N.M. Condy del. T.G. Dutton lith. Day & Haghe Lithr.s to the Queen.
London: Ackermann & Co Strand, George Foster, 114 Fenchurch St. _ Plymouth, Edmund Fry.
Tinted lithograph. Sheet 380 x 560mm (15 x 22"), large margins.
'Warspite' was built and launched, at Chatham in 1807 as a 74-gun two-decker. After an active career, in the Napoleonic Wars and including service in the Anglo-American 'War of 1812' when she took three U.S. privateers, she was decommissioned in 1815. In 1840 her second remodelling reduced her to a one-deck, 50-gun frigate, as shown here, for service on the home station. Lord John Hay commanded her between 1841 and 1845, visiting New York in 1842 to take Lord Ashburton to negotiate the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. She remained at sea until 1862 when she was loaned to the Marine Society as a boys' training ship. Accidentally burned by fire at Woolwich in 1876, her wreck was subsequently broken up on the Thames. American interest.
