- Lot Description
American School, 20th century. "The American Clipper Seawitch Riding the Ocean Swell", oil on canvas, signed lower left "R. Bramley". Maritime painting depicting the American clipper "Seawitch" riding the white capped ocean waves on breezy day, prominent ship at center foreground fully rigged with white sails, the American flag flying near stern between sails and with red signal flag to apex of central mast. Christie's label on verso of frame and title inscribed on verso of stretcher. Framed approximately 29.2" x 41". Unframed approximately 24" x 36". Provenance: Acquired at Christie's South Kensington, London, sale #9631, "Maritime", May 21, 2003, Lot 695. Note: The Seawitch was an American clipper ship designed by naval architect John W. Griffiths for the China trading firm of Howland and Aspinwall. She was launched at Smith and Dimon in Manhattan on December 8, 1846. In 1845, John Willis Griffiths built the fast ship Rainbow and followed it in the next year with the even faster Sea Witch. Both vessels would have tremendous impact on merchant hull design. Sea Witch, in fact, had more influence on the configuration of fast vessels than any ship built in the United States. Vessels built in general accordance with the Sea Witch model were known as clippers, a term already well entrenched in the language of fast vessels. After gold was discovered in California, the Seawitch's owners, Howland and Aspinwall, transferred her from the China trade to the new Cape Horn run from the East Coast to San Francisco. In early 1850 the Seawitch completed this passage in 97 days, the first vessel ever to do so in less than 100 days.Prior to bidding, please consult the additional photos provided and ask all pertinent questions (i.e. condition, size, etc.).
