Letter to the Yarmouth Vanguard

Topics :: Yarmouth County Museum , Liverpool , England , Tusket

The collection of the Yarmouth County Museum contains a painting of the ship Home done by Julia Ida (Patten) Churchill (1860 – 1940). The daughter of John Freeman Patten and Abigail D. (Hilton) Patten, she was married to Osborne L. Churchill who was the son of Capt. Lewis C. Churchill, commander of the Home in the early 1870’s.

Her painting of the Home, which she completed in 1898, was possibly based on an earlier painting of this or another vessel by John Hall of Liverpool, England.

I would be interested to hear from any of your readers who might know something about Julia Ida Churchill or who might have paintings by her. I would also be especially interested in hearing of other paintings of the ship Home which was, when she was built in Tusket in 1861, the second largest vessel on the Yarmouth registry.
