Title
The British four-master Vanduara at sea under full sail
Description
English: Vanduara was built in Scotland by Connells of Glasgow in 1882. With an iron hull and four masts, she was registered at 2,086 tons gross, 2,012 net, and measured 280 feet long with a 42 foot beam. Owned by JD Clink of Greenock, she was by far the largest vessel in his small fleet, all of which he named after famous racing yachts. Vanduara, Clink's first four-master, had an excellent reputation for speed and her run from Deal to New Zealand in 1885 only narrowly missed creating the record passage time thanks to contrary winds four days out from her destination of Auckland. Sold in 1898 to S Goldberg of Swansea, Wales, then in 1909 to L Lydersen of Tvedestrand, Norway, and in 1911 transferred to NA Lydersen, also of Tvedestrand. A German submarine sank her on 2 May 1917 when bound for Le Havre from Savannah La Mar, Jamaica, carrying a cargo of dyewood.

The ship was launched on 13 September 1882

Artist identified in error as William Barnett Spencer, should be Ball.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1923, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
