Macquarie was the last of the 'Black Wallers', and one of the strongest. She was a three-masted ship-rigged vessel, built as the Melbourne by R. & H. Green of Blackwall for their Blackwall line run to Australia. She was built from surplus plates from a 'Man of War' which was under construction at the same yard and launched in June 1875. She sailed on the London to Melbourne run until she was sold to Davitt and Moore in 1887, who then put her on the London to Sydney run, changing her name to Macquarie in 1888.

She was a very comfortable and successful ship and mainly carried passengers on the outward run. On the return journey, the second- and third-class cabins were generally dismantled to accommodate a cargo of wool. From 1897, under the command of Captain Corner, the company used her to train their cadets. She was then sold to J.Bryde of Sandefjord, Norway, in 1904 and renamed Fortunawas used as a coal hulk in Sydney Harbour. She was finally converted to a coal-carrying barge in 1949 and was broken up by T. Carr & Co., Sydney in 1953.

Framing

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON PAPER 

We use a simple classic frame, gold finish over a black ground, approximately 1 3/4 inches (4.4 cm) in width with off-white acid-free mount 2 1/2 to 3 inches (6.5 - 7.5 cm) wide. Pictures are framed under glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging.

For larger pictures that are to be shipped we can use perspex instead of glass for security in transit - we may contact you to discuss this. Frame example shown above. 

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON CANVAS

For pictures on canvas we use a simple classic frame with a gold finish and a white slip next to the canvas, approximately 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) in width. Pictures are framed like an oil painting with no glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging. Frame example shown above.
