Montague Dawson: Wind Aft, The Repulse
About the Item
This watercolour on paper is framed under glass and signed in the left corner. It shows the East Indiaman sailing downwind under full canvas. The reverse has a paper trade label from Harlow, McDonald & Co, 667 Fifth Avenue, New York, giving the title “‘Wind Aft’, The Repulse, Water color by Montague Dawson”. There are also notes in pencil ‘The Repulse East Indiaman, 1425 tons. Built in 1820 at Green and Wigram’s Blackwall Yard. She was broken up in 1844 after making many voyages to the East. No. 24733.’
East Indiaman was a general name for any sailing ship operating between East India and Europe from the 17th to the 19th century. This included Austrian, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Portuguese and Swedish vessels. Some of the British ships were also called tea clippers.
Repulse was a first-class East Indiaman built in the Blackwall Yard during the last days of the East India Company. The East India Docks were built on the Thames in the early nineteenth century after the West India Docks (1800-6) and the London Docks (1802-5) and served only vessels engaged in trade to that part of the world. Dock basins allowed ships to load and unload during all stages of the tide. There is a lithograph by Hudson titled ‘The Repulse East Indiaman in East India Dock Basin, Sepr. 25th, 1839’ in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, No. 140483.

Montague Dawson
The son of a keen yachtsman and grandson of marine painter Henry Dawson, Montague Dawson spent much of his childhood on the Southampton Water, where he was able to indulge his interest in the study of ships. Naturally gifted at drawing and painting, the self-taught Dawson became a member of an art studio group in Bedford Row, London. By the age of 15, he was working on posters and illustrations to earn a living. For a brief period around 1910, Dawson worked for a commercial art studio in London, but with the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Royal Navy. Dawson was present at the final surrender of the German Grand Fleet, and many of his illustrations depicting the event were published in The Sphere. After the War, Dawson established himself as a professional marine artist, concentrating on historical subjects and portraits of deep-water sailing ships. During the Second World War, he was employed as a war artist and again worked for The Sphere. Dawson exhibited regularly at the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Royal Academy from 1917 to 1936. By the 1930s, he was considered the greatest living marine painter. His patrons included two American Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson, as well as the British Royal Family.
