The Indiaman 'Euphrates'
A portrait of the Indiaman ‘Euphrates’ among shipping, in an imaginary scene, showing Cape Town and Table Bay in the distance on the left. A British ship on the left is firing a salute.

Built in Liverpool in 1834 her first journey was to Calcutta in 1836-37. She then travelled to China and Australia. On a return journey from West Africa in 1868 with a cargo of palm nuts and oil, she capsized 15 miles south west of Holyhead, off the coast of Wales. All aboard were drowned. This painting may commemorate her maiden voyage and is signed and dated ‘S.Walters 1835’ on the stern of the fishing boat.
