Five Sunderland lustre plaques 19th century, variously printed with ships at sail, one inscribed beneath with a stanza about trade, one titled 'Truelove from Hull', another 'Cudrun', within differing moulded rims decorated in pink and copper lustre, 24.5cm max. (5) The Truelove was built in Philadelphia but captured by the English during the American War of Independence. She was converted into a whaling ship by John Voase from Hull and outlived all other contemporary ships, only being broken up in the 1890s. The Gudrun was a Norwegian ship.
