| Description |
English: The Lowestoft trawler 'LT356' A highly detailed ship portrait of a Lowestoft trawler, ‘LT356’, signed and dated 1892. She is shown broadside-on and is towing a small ship’s boat from the stern. Her markings are clearly visible on her distinctive red sails. The fishermen can be seen hanging over the side as they attend to their large trawling nets. This type of trawler evolved from the earlier Brixham trawlers and fishing was Lowestoft's main industry. The local catch was primarily cod, plaice, skate and haddock. The picture was purchased in 1932 for 11 shillings (60 pence) by the Macpherson Fund of the Society for Nautical Research after Professor Geoffrey Callender (SNR Secretary and later the Museum's first Director) found it in a shop. Burwood (1844-1917) was the son of a Lowestoft fisherman who was originally partner in a coopering (barrel-making) business. He began painting, and working as a model maker and engineer, after their premises burnt down. He was commissioned to make a model for Princess Victoria (later Empress of Germany) and other work by him - models and pictures - is in Lowestoft Museum. |
