This original oil painting
of Lingard by artist Dennis Chapman shows Lingard crossing the channel.
Launched in 1893 in Norway. Rigged as a three-masted barque, she had
her name changed to Wathara before being sold to James Bell and Company,
Hull in 1919. She was then sold to Gustaf Erikson, Mariehamn in 1925
who gave her back her original name. In November 1935 she collided with
the steamer Gerd, which was hit in the side and sunk with everyone on
board. Lingard was badly damaged and towed to Gothenburg and comdemned
for scrap, but was bought by a Norwegian company, repaired and made
into a museum ship.
