A delightful display size with the frame being 62.5 cm wide and 49 cm high.
Subject seascape marine view of the known four masted steel hull barque ship, sailing in a brisk wind towards the left in rather choppy high seas in full side profile view set during the afternoon. With the majority of the sails hoisted & ensign flags flying high, with the union Jack ensign also flying at the stern. With some of the crew figures out on deck, the name of the ship Sindia is visible on the bow and also on on the second mast. In the distance on the right flank you can view headland and a sailing yacht. On the left flank are further sailing yachts & a steam sail ship, above in relative light clear sky with clouds and bright golden sun light shining through the clouds top left.
In our opinion this is exceptional historic marine masterpiece.
The Sindia was the world's largest four masted steel hull sailing vessel , which was owned by John D. Rockefeller. Its tonnage was 3068 grt, ship size was 100.28m length, 13.72m width and depth 7.92m. With steel rigging, rigged with double top & topgallant sails also royal sails and built in Belfast by the builders Harland & Wolff Ltd in yard number 204. Its official number was 93757. It was launched on 19th November 1887 & delivered to the first owner T & J Brocklebank in 1888 in Liverpool. The ship was registered in Liverpool.
Her fate was to be wrecked in 1901, the ships sailing route was from New York to the Orient moving oil and returning to New York with goods from China and Japan. On her return voyage from the far east in 1901, the Sindia was full of Chinese & Japanese treasure that was alleged to have come from the lotting from temples during China’s 1900 Boxer Rebellion a high value cargo containing various silks, satins, camphor oil, along with 3000 crates of China & porcelain also gems. The Sindia had the British flag hoisted up & stopped at Shanghai before going to Kobe in Japan. The ship was caught in a December gale with heavy seas & high winds also rain along with fog which together caused her to be blown off course, the ship headed towards the shore where the lookout mistook the glow from a Cape May, New Jersey, lighthouse for the entrance to the Hudson River.
Before they knew it the keel hit & got stuck in the sand, then the waves came over the bow & throwing the crew around the deck like rag dolls. The sails were shattered and rigging ripped damaged, the ship became a victim to the seas that spun it broadside around 150 yards from the bathing beach, located between 16th and 17th Street Ocean City, New Jersey. The captain’s distress signals was luckily spotted by two local lifesaving stations that sent a breeches buoy along with a lifeboat to rescue them. Thankfully no on died, as all of the 32 crew along with captain Allen MacKenzie where saved.
Biography of the first ships owners The Brocklebank Line (formally named Thos. and Jno. Brocklebank) was an English shipping line that operated in the 19th and 20th centuries. Daniel Brocklebank founded a shipyard in Whitehaven in 1785, and expanded in the following years into operating ships. Following Brocklebank's death in 1801, his sons Thomas and John took over the business, which was incorporated as Thomas and John Brocklebank. The line's operations were based out of Liverpool and run by Thomas Brocklebank, while John ran the Whitehaven shipyard until his death in 1831. The next generation of Brocklebanks, Thomas Jr. and Ralph, became partners in the business in 1843, and the following year the line reached its peak with a fleet of fifty ships. In 1865 the shipyard at Whitehaven closed, with most of the line's subsequent ships built at Harland & Wolff. In 1911 the Brocklebank family gave up full control of the company, when Sir Percy, Frederic and Denis Bates—descendants of shipping magnate Sir Edward Bates—acquired.
Biography of the ships final owner was The Anglo-American Oil Company which was a division of the Standard Oil Company, with the purpose of operating their services in the United Kingdom rather than in their main territory of the United States. John Davison Rockefeller Sr. (July 8, 1839 – May 23, 1937) was an American businessman and philanthropist. He was one of the wealthiest Americans of all time and one of the richest people in modern history. Rockefeller was born into a large family in Upstate New York who moved several times before eventually settling in Cleveland, Ohio. He became an assistant bookkeeper at age 16 and went into several business partnerships beginning at age 20, concentrating his business on oil refining. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He ran it until 1897 and remained its largest shareholder. In his retirement, he focused his energy and wealth on philanthropy, especially regarding education, medicine, higher education, and modernizing the Southern United States. Rockefeller's wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance, and he became the richest person in the country, controlling 90% of all oil in the United States at his peak in 1900. Oil was used in lamps, and as a fuel for ships and automobiles. Standard Oil was the greatest business trust in the United States. Through use of the company's monopoly power, Rockefeller revolutionized the petroleum industry and, through corporate and technological innovations, was instrumental in both widely disseminating and drastically reducing the production cost of oil.
