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 whole design completed; the wall of the harbour on the right, between the upright supports, is very lightly shaded.
