Montague Dawson, F.R.S.A., R.S.M.A. (1895-1973) High Wind signed 'Montague. Dawson.' (lower left), inscribed 'High Wind' (on the reverse) and further inscribed 'High Wind - Pioneer to the White Diamond' (on the remnant of an exhibition label attached to the stretcher) oil on canvas 36 x 24 in. (91.5 x 61 cm.)"Although Dawson has not identified this ship by name, the enigmatic label on the stretcher reading "High Wind - Pioneer to the White Diamond" seems to point to one vessel in particular, namely the Joshua Bates. Interestingly, in Richard C. McKay's major biographical work on his grandfather "Some Famous Sailing Ships and their builder Donald McKay" (first published in 1928), he refers to the Joshua Bates (in the index) as 'Pioneer of Train's White Diamond Line', and this poses the obvious question; could Dawson have had a copy of this book in his library and might this particular phrase be the source of his inspiration? If any ship deserves the title 'Pioneer to the White Diamond [Line?]' it was the Joshua Bates since she was the line's first custom-built packet and the one which turned the fledgling company into a successful business venture. Colonel Enoch Train founded his 'White Diamond' Line of Boston to Liverpool packets in 1844 despite the failure of two similar services in the 1820s and notwithstanding the fact that New York was already emerging as the dominant entry port for North Atlantic traffic in both freight and passengers. In the first year, the line's sailings from Lewis Wharf, Boston, were very irregular and the service was regarded with some amusement by the citizens of Boston, mainly because the vessels employed were less than suitable ships commandeered from Train's other mercantile operations. The shipping community in Liverpool also doubted it would succeed yet from the moment Train took delivery of his first ship from Donald McKay, the company's fortunes began to improve. McKay, the builder of so many great clippers in the years following, delighted Train with his 620-ton Joshua Bates and, as other similar thoroughbreds followed her into service, the White Diamond Line rapidly became a force to be reckoned with, especially in the emigrant trade. The order for the Joshua Bates went to William Pickett's yard at Newburyport, Massachusetts, where Donald McKay was not only master shipwright of but also a junior partner. Train had been recommended to the young McKay and had travelled especially to meet him as the plans for a purpose-built packet ship began to crystallise in his mind. Apparently, Train and McKay took an instant liking to each other and the contract to build the vessel was agreed within an hour.

Montague Dawson, F.R.S.A., R.S.M.A. (1895-1973) Study of two model frigates in the artist's studio signed 'Montague Dawson' (lower left) pencil and watercolour 30 x 22 in. (76.2 x 55.9 cm.)"At first sight, the fully-rigged model occupying the main thrust of this rather whimsical picture seems to be a Royal Navy frigate of the early to mid-eighteenth century but, as in any painting, whatever its subject, appearances can sometimes be deceptive. Despite her single gundeck and numerous other features so reminiscent of a typical naval frigate, it is more likely this vessel was a privateer which, if true, would make her - quite literally - the model for one of Dawson's very popular works 'The Duke and Duchess '. This splendid depiction of the two famous Bristol privateers sailing in company in the first decade of the eighteenth century has been widely reproduced and is deemed to have all the ingredients of a classic Dawson historical narrative. This particular model occupied a prominent place in Dawson's studio, as evidenced by the photograph of the artist illustrated within the introduction to Ranson's book, and may even have been one of the artist's favourite 'props' given that it inspired its own portrait. The other model, more obviously a frigate of the Royal Navy judging from her characteristic 'rampant lion' figurehead, is only partially rigged and has her topmasts 'down' as if she is laid up and in reserve. Much less distinctive than her fully-rigged companion, it is less apparent which works she might have inspired although her lines and general appearance would have provided useful guidance for many of Dawson's pictures of real historical incidents.
