Godfrey, William (Artist (attributed to))

The Ochtertyre was an iron barque built by Robert Duncan & Co., Port Glasgow in 1885 for Hugh Hogarth of Ardrossan. Her master was William Reardon Smith who was later to become a shipowner at Cardiff and the philanthropic treasurer of the National Museum of Wales.
