The mystery ship, Padstow

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1919

Part of the Padstow lifeboat HELEN PRICE and half-a-dozen small boats are seen stranded at low tide in a harbour. On the quay above its walls are seen, in succession, a large wooden building, a smaller inscribed MISSIONS TO SEAMANS, and a row of old houses. Behind the first two buildings the rigging of the mystery ship is partly seen. The wall much more shaded; boats retouched; a shadow added to the hawser of the "Helen Price." The triangular roof on the extreme right i.e. covered with tiles; there is a tiled front to the house behind the cart; there are many other small changes to the buildings.
