SOLON FRANCIS MONTICELLO BADGER (American, 1873-1919) PORTRAIT OF THE WINDJAMMER “BRYNHILDA”.

Outstanding oil on canvas ship portrait shows the three-mast white hulled windjammer sailing under full sail right to left thru choppy seas under pink & grey clouds in a blue sky. Flags fly off the back mast and 12 crew members are seen on it’s light colored wood deck. The name is emblazoned on both the bow and just back of the steering wheel. Signed lower left “SFM Badger”. Also on verso of canvas “SFM Badger 5 Trenton St. Charlestown, MA USA .09″. The Brynhilda was built by Stevens & Sons, Glasgow, 1885 and owned by J W Greencock. It held the record of 38 days, 6 hours from River Plate, Argentina to Australia in 1906. It was sold to D.I. Dewarand then to Harvard Shipping Co. and scrapped in 1924. This portrait descended in the family of Capt. James Adam Carr Green, 1844-1903. Information about the family and Capt. Green is included with this lot including copies of excerpts from a ship’s journal in the early 1890’s. Also included in this lot are two items from the Green family. One is a octant made of ebony & brass by G W Blunt of New York in a wood case. Also, a very interesting clear bottle half filled with ash purportedly when Capt. Green’s boat was covered in volcanic ash from a nearby volcano (this is discussed in his letter to his wife in which he refers to his ship (the Brynhilda) being covered with ash). SIZE: 22″ x 36″. Overall: 29-1/2″ x 43-1/2”. CONDITION: Very good. Sextant shows use, bottle intact. 51344-23 (9,000-12,000) – Lot 2167
