Sailor's Woolwork of HMS Meeanee Outward Bound, Year 1862
Located in Downingtown, PA
Sailor's Woolwork of H.M.S. Meeanee Outward Bound, Year 1862. The British sailor's woolwork or woolie depicts a starboard view of the H.M.S. Meeanee outward bound passing a lighthouse as she sets out to sea leaving an unknown port on a wavy sea depicting with bands of different blues and white. She flies the red ensign and a red banner used to message sailors that their hip was leaving port. Along the lower section is a wide silk band with the following: H.M.S. Meeanee. Outward. Bound, Yer 1862. Dimensipons: 15 1/2 inches high x 21 3/4 inches wide x 1 inch deep. There are, as seen, various small minor looses. Now within Museum UV Glass. H.M.S. Meeanee was a two-deck 80-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 11 November 1842 at Bombay Dockyard. She was named after the Battle of Meeanee. The Meanee had originally been intended to be named the Madras, and retained the figurehead of a native of Madras, though it no longer appropriate. The head builder at the H.E.I. company dock and shipbuilding yard was Cursetjee Rustomjee. She sailed from Bombay for England in August 1849 with Persian artefacts for the British Museum. Meeanee a Vanguard Classship was fitted with screw propulsion in 1857. The London Times on Wednesday 31 December 1856 wrote that she was in Sheerness- The new ship Meeanee, 80 guns, is in No. 2 dry dock, being altered to receive screw steam machinery. From late 1862, H.M.S. Meeanee was commanded (until paying off at Sheerness) by Captain George Wodehouse as part of the Mediterranean Fleet. In 1870 she was a hospital ship moored in the centre of Hong Kong Harbour tending to the British Army. She was broken up in 1906. The Battle of Meeanee. Sir Charles Napier led a small force of 2,500, consisting of native infantry and cavalry and one British regiment, The Cheshire Regiment, against the Baluchi Army of the Ameers of Scinde. The desert fortress of Emaun Ghur was destroyed and then, on the 17th February 1843, Napier's small force defeated 30,000 Baluchis at Meeanee. A month later the Baluchis were defeated again at Hyderbad. The province of Scinde fell into British hands and the Cheshire Regiment gained the honours of Meeanee, Hyderbad and Scinde. The honours of Meeanee and Hyderbad are shared with some Indian Regiments.

British Sailor's Woolwork or Woolie of the Named Barque "Polly"
Located in Downingtown, PA
Large British Sailor's Woolwork of the Barque Polly, Named "Polly", Circa 1885-95 A large sailor's woolie or woolwork of a port side view of a ship named "Polly" under full sail. The ship is rigged as a barque. The name "Polly" can be seen on a banner flying from the mainmast and on the front of the bow and the shiop was named after the owner's wife Marian Poyy Woodside. (see below). The sails are trapunto, creating a three-dimensional look of the sails full of wind. The sea is depicted is rippling bands of green and white. Dimensions: Frame: 26 1/4 inches high x 31 inches wide x 2 inches Reference: The ship was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1885, and launched by Marian "Polly" Woodside, the wife of the owner, tossing flowers across the bow. (Champagne being too precious). The ship made several voyages primarily between South America and the UK before being repositioned in the Pacific. A barque has three or four masts. The fore and mainmast are square-rigged, and the mizzen fore-and-aft, usually gaff-rigged. Carries a mainsail on each mast, but the mainsail shape differs per mast (square or gaff). Barques were built with up to five masts. Four-masted barques were quite common. Barques were a good alternative to full-rigged ships because they require a lot fewer sailors. But they were also slower. Very popular rig for ocean crossings, so a great rig for merchants who travel long distances and don't want 30 - 50 sailors to run their ship. A label on the reverse states that the wool was on The Antiques Road...
