20th Century - artist unknown - 's.s. Ethelhilda'' - A painting of the ship which was used for the pumping trails on the new Penarth Dock pontoon in March 1910. The images were very kindly provided by a gentleman named Richard Longwill [488]. Richard commented : -

'The picture is unsigned, as many of these often are, and probably commissioned by the shipbuilders for their boardroom as sometimes was the custom. A typical commemorative piece of the industry and circa 1900 I guess by the style and given that the ship was renamed Ethelmead in 1920. It's watercolour and gouache.'
