Hi Turfy
Put 'Lillian Morris barque' in google and you will find the entries about the waterspout and the abandonned ship.

You could also search under Lilian Morris,

You could get a copy of the photo at:-

I've just found this photo in wiki. Not quite as grand as the painting. The text says it was taken in Bristol. Have you seen the other info about her coming to the rescue of an abandonned ship and the info about her losing her masts and a member of her crew in a water spout!

Can anyone confirm or otherwise my reading of these flags?

Hi Turfy
I attach 2 picies of the Lillian Morris. One full one and one detail of the name, I had to use a low number of pixels to keep the file size down. Hope you can see the flags. I am no expert but I have looked up the signal she is flying and it appears to read "metal ship - going backwards - under mechanical power - read above flags in the opposite" The artists little joke at a time when metal mechanically powered ships were taking over.

I've got an oil painting of the Lillian Morris under sail! My Great Great Grandfather, David Jones, was a captain sailing out of Aberaeron, Mid Wales. Family lore has it that he was her master. I would realy like MacIntosh to let me know how he found out so much about her.

Some info that may be of use in your search for a pic of Lillian Morris.

Registered Number 1073131,
Barque 806 tons.
Launched July 1875 at the Pallion Yard, Sunderland.
Sail only.
In 1917 engined with 2 diesels and became 3 masted schooner.
1902 became Pasqualino
1917 became Paysandu
1919 became Ibaizabal
1923 became Maria Luiza

In March 1929 caught fire and sank and was later broken up.

I have been unable to find a pic of her anywhere and there is no mention of her on Lloyds,
The same applies to the Holden, are you sure of the name and the spelling of Holden? because there are some names similar but not exact.
The owners names of  Lillian Morris suggest she was either Portugese registered or Brazilian after she was sold in 1902.
Therer are ships named Paysandu and Maria Luiza though they are more modern and not the ones you are looking for.

Regards
James
