KOPARA-Rolling Home

Original oil painting of the M.V.KOPARA rolling home to her home port.

Another great atmostpheric painting showing the M.V.KOPARA one of the many Union Steamship of New Zealand Co ships that were built in the Leith Shipyards of Henry Robb. This scene shows her rolling back over the Tasman Sea to home while still in the original colours of her first owners Richardson & Co of Napier New Zealand.

Painted by the artist Charles Fawcett who was serving on the ship at the time so has a real feel for how the ship looked at the time.

This painting ships un-framed, for shipping costs please contact us.
