Clipper James Baines

James Baines, a state of the art clipper passenger ship, launched from the East Boston shipyard of the famous ship builder Donald McKay in 1854. This is my restoration and colorization of Australian photographer and maritime painter Allan C. Green´s (1878-1954) photo of his own painting. The original image is in the Victoria State Library archive. The 81 m (LOA) James Baines was a very fast ship - her top speed, 21 kn (39 km/h) was recorded on June 17, 1856.
