The American merchantman Euphrasia in three positions off the Liverpool waterfront

The American full-rigged merchantman Euphrasia was built in Jackson's yard, Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1842. A three-master designed with two decks, she was measured at 487 tons and had a draft of 17 feet. Originally owned by Mr. Kibby (and his associates) of Baltimore, by 1844 she had been acquired by the Bruce Line of Boston (Captain Charles Buntin) although by 1848 she had joined the fleet of another Boston owner, the New Line, sailing under Captain John Simpson. In January 1855 she was purchased by McCready, Mott of South Street, New York, but when their short-lived enterprise was wound up in the fall of 1855, she was acquired by Horatio Eagle, another South Street shipping agent. Last listed in 1859 as the property of H. Sheldon of New York and sailing under Captain Anderson, she disappears from record in 1860.
This classic Samuel Walter's portrait of Euphrasia shows her progressively shortening sail in three positions off the 'North End' of Liverpool's waterfront, with the stern view (to the extreme right) showing her with a paddle-tug in attendance alongside being gently nudged through the entrance of the Prince's Dock where the basin beyond can be seen packed with other shipping.
