Rogers, Terry F.J. (Born in 1922, Newport. Served in the Royal Navy on the Atlantic & Arctic convoys during the Second World War. After war became a painter and decorator.

A view astern of the Aberystwyth three-masted barque HOPE and the Aberystwyth schooner AERON BELLE. Signed bottom right. Undated. Framed.

AERON BELLE (Schooner No. 15769) built in 1856 by Evan Jones of Aberystwyth at Aberaeron. Owned by J. Lloyd.

The Aberystwyth three-masted barque HOPE was built in 1865 by ‘Labbié’ (probably Louis Labbé or Pierre-Gabriel Labbé) in Quebec, Canada, for Wallace & Co of Newport. She was sold to T. Jones of Aberystwyth in 1871/72, then to E.J. Jones of Aberystwyth, then to John Evans of Aberystwyth, in whose ownership she capsized and sank 30 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada, on 22 August 1892 on a voyage from Port Dalhousie, New Brunswick, Canada, to Porthmadog, with a cargo of timber.
