The clipper brig Lanrick (off Singapore), Thomas B. White, Commander
This tinted lithograph depicts the clipper brig ‘Lanrick’, under the command of Thomas B. White, off Singapore. She is sailing right with her fore- and mainsails reefed, a rowing boat in the right foreground and two other brigs off her port bow. A figure in the rowing boat waves to her crew as she crosses its bows. The print is dedicated to her owner Andrew Jardine, one of the founders of Jardine Matheson, a trading conglomerate founded in Canton (now Guangzhou), China in 1832. The ‘Lanrick’ was employed for trading smuggled opium, tea and cotton.
