 Liverpool Pilot Sloop No.6 'Irlam' in Liverpool Bay, this was painted by Samuel Walters (1811-1882) in 1824.
Irlam was built in Liverpool in 1831 and served as a pilot sloop until 1852 when she was sold. She was lost near Warren Point, Northern Ireland later in 1852.

AuthorMy interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
