fette: Top, photograph by Cass Bird, I Look Just Like My Daddy, 2003. Via. Bottom, this feather was painted by a ‘Cape Horner’ called Captain ‘Will’ Nelson, who lived at Malvern Terrace in Swansea. It was painted in 1898, and was donated to the Museum in 1996 by Mr. George Owen. This feather follows a 19th century tradition amongst mariners who painted them as mementos for their families and loved-ones during long sea voyages. The main picture is of a ship in full sail below which is inscribed ‘Outward Bound’. To the left of this is the message ‘God Be With You Till We Meet Again’ then ‘With Best Wishes To All’. To the right it says, ‘Bound for Melbourne’, ‘To Mother From Will, Ben Nevis, 1898’, ‘March 1898’. Via.
