    Notes:
    The     Adelaide is depicted entering Liverpool, off the Skerries, Anglesey, with the South Stack Lighthouse just visible on the right and the Skerries Lighthouse ahead of the bowsprit. At 1,831 tons and 216 feet long, Adelaide was the 16th largest ship built in the United States during the 1850s. By 1865 she had been sold to Henry Fernie of Liverpool, whose house flag is shown at the mainmast. She is shown with divided topsails, although this modification occurred after her early voyages, and single top gallants with furled Royals. When launched she also carried skysails. Adelaide had a successful and uneventful 20-year career before being stranded in December, 1875 and condemned at Cape Town.
