About the Item

She flies Red Ensign from her mizzen-mast and a red banner from her main mast. In the foreground are two small vessels also under sail. These are Bermudan Ketches and this this woolwork probably depicts the ship off the coast of Bermuda. Dimensions: 19 3/4 inches high x 22 1/4 inches wide. Now elegantly presented, this maritime artwork is housed in a beautiful maple frame featuring a classic ogee-form.
