Brig F.I. MERRYMAN of Bath, Leaving Leghorn

Brig F. I. Merryman of Bath, C.C. Glover, master, leaving Leghorn, 1870. Vessel's gross tonnage 345; register length 110' This painting shows a vessel with an oddly raised deck running not quite all the way to the bow. It is what it looks like - an afterthought, added when the vessel was rebuilt the year before this painting was made. It added more than 100 tons of cargo capacity to the hull.
