Description
English: The experts at Bruun Rasmussen described this painting as "A Danish Steamship at sea". That is correct - but perhaps a bit vague. The signal flags "NHCP" on the mizzenmast will inform us that this is in fact the S/S Gorm of the Steamship Company Gorm. That vessel was built by Henderson Coulborn in Renfrew in 1871. It served with the company until 1885, when it foundered off Bornholm or Gotland. Édouard Adam made a similar portrait of the ship in 1877, now found at the Danish Maritime Museum ("Museet for Søfart").
Dansk: Eksperterne hos Bruun Rasmussen beskrev billedet som "Et dansk dampskib på havet". Det er en korrekt - men måske lidt vag - betegnelse. Signalflagene "NHCP" på mesanmasten fortæller os, at dette er dampskibet Gorm fra Damskibet Gorms Rederi. Det blev bygget hos Henderson Coulborn i Renfrew, Skotland i 1871 og gjorde tjeneste i rederiet indtil det forliste i 1885 ved Bornholm eller Gotland. Édouard Adam udførte et lignende skibsportræt af Gorm i 1877, og det findes nu på Museet for Søfart i Helsingør.

Public domain

The author died in 1929, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
