Watercolour of a Steam Yacht

A late 19th century watercolour painting on artist board of a yacht under sail and steam.

The boat is named 'Britannia' and is ploughing through a choppy sea into a strong wind. Britannia painted in small letters just below the bow.

The painting has a signature to the bottom right hand corner 'Wade' and is in it's original worn gilt frame.

The painting is in good condition though the artist board is slightly bowed.
