Stewart’s port profile of the hearty North American-built vessel MINDORA is an accomplished success. Captured in the midst of an eventful year for the barque, she was originally built as a ship in 1865 in a Saint Johns, New Brunswick shipyard. Stoddart Brothers of Liverpool bought her in 1875, selling the ship to J. Lindsay in 1879. Lindsay’s houseflag is hosted on the mainmast, and the ship’s International Code flies upon the mizzen above the British merchant mariner ensign.

This skilled ship portrait shows some very fine detail. The white, turned wood taff-rail around the quarter deck is nicely highlighted as is the carved figurehead on her bows. The painted splash rail following the sheer line also helps to accent this vessel's fine lines. Complimented with the soft green foothills of the Scottish headland, a pilot sidewheel steam tug of Glasgow is near, as well as several sailing ships.

MINDORA carried cotton from the American South and Canadian lumber for much of her early career. In 1880, she had traveled from Greenock to Pensacola, Florida and back, and then made four crossing between Greenock and Quebec. She Was disabled at sea in November, and her crew rescued, only to nearly make the Irish Coast unaided. Found and brought in under tow, she was repaired and put into the Australian Trade, where she sailed in service out of Sydney for 10 Years, until hulked in 1896.
