While the name of her builder is also not given by Lloyd's, the fact that the picture is in the Green Collection suggests it may have been their precursor John Perry, at Blackwall, or that the ship had some other connection with Green's, though they never owned her. The only suspicious aspect of this identification are the lines of the ship, with a bow more of nineteenth- than eighteenth-century profile. The ship on the left appears to be a frigate or smaller warship, calling for a pilot who is coming out in a cutter in the distance, though the 'Delaford' is shown hove-to as if waiting for one as well. The vessel on the right is another merchantman and the scene appears to be in the Thames estuary off the North Foreland, with Margate to the right. Huggins, a London-based marine painter, was very well known for such ship portraits for masters and owners. It is likely that this picture is from the 1820s or 1830s.
