Collecting and Studying Ship Portraits
by James Shuttleworth


Ship portraits include paintings, prints, and photographs. A ship portrait is often more than just an image of a vessel. This book focuses primarily on paintings and prints, discussing the content of a portrait and how to interpret the information in it. For the new collector and current collector alike, students, ship modelers, and curators this book includes tools to help you navigate sources, auctions, research, flags, funnel marks, signatures, attributions, dates, condition, details, and restoration of ship portraits.


James Shuttleworth has been collecting and studying ship portraits for 50 years. He advises maritime museums and collectors about ship portraits and corresponds with other collectors.
