Description
English: The Dunbar 1321 Tons
Hand-coloured lithograph inscribed: The Dunbar, 1321 tons, To Duncan Dunbar Esqre Owner, Capt J. Green and the Officers of the Ship, this print is most respectfully dedicated by their obedient servant Wm Foster". The Dunbar was considered the finest ship in Duncan Dunbar's fleet. Great attention was paid in her construction to strength and to the comfort of her passengers. Her tragic wreck in 1857 off Sydney, when she was under the command of captain Green, seems to have been the result of a navigatinal error, but the cause was uncertain as there was only one survivor. (Basil Lubbock, The Blackwall Frigates p.202-211).
