This painting was previously entitled 'The Blackwall Frigate 'Owen Glendower' Coming into a Harbour'. It in fact shows her at anchor with sails spread to dry, off the English south coast, probably just east of Hastings if the ruins on the cliff are indicative. A Blackwall frigate Indiaman of 852 tons built by Green's in 1839, she flies the pre-1843 house flag of their Blackwall line at her main truck (in which the blue square overlays the red St George's cross). The ship was initially registered for voyages between London and Madras. There is also a model of her in the National Maritime Museum Collection (SLR0780) and a print by T. G. Dutton of her entering Calcutta (PAH0566). 'Owen Glendower', named after the medieval Welsh hero, was sister of the 'Vernon' and 'Earl of Hardwick' and designed with auxiliary paddles, removed before her first voyage and later from the other two ships after they proved unsuccessful.
