Oil on canvas

Private collection
The iron ship Clifford was built by the renowned Liverpool firm Thomas Royden & Sons in 1864. Walters portrays the vessel here flying the Royden house flag with the pilot jack at the foremast; the pilot cutter itself is pictured in the distance converging on the same tack. The mountains of North Wales may be seen above the Little Orme on the extreme left, while the Great Orme projects towards the ship's bowsprit and the coastal town of Llandudno lies in between. Astern of the ship is the north-west corner of the Anglesey coast. More on this painting
