There followed a fascinating exercise in maritime detection, assisted by timely contributions from interested colleagues in the UK, the USA, and Canada. Two years later a fully illustrated and detailed report of the evidence and events relating to this story of marine art detection, was published under the title "Marine Art & Liverpool - A Postscript - Fifty ship paintings by Francis Hustwick (1797-1865)" . Further paintings have since emerged and the current score of some sixty-four paintings attributable to Francis Hustwick now include thirteen portraits of American vessels. Apart from a solitary atypical exception, none of his ship portraits of British vessels are signed. However, three of the thirteen US ship portraits bear a legible signature, although in two instances the surname had been previously misinterpreted as 'Hasbrouk' and 'Hustwich'. Almost certainly other Hustwick paintings still await recognition or re-attribution, especially in North America. A current example to surface in the United States, is an imposing 28" x 42" unsigned painting of the well-known US ship 'Sirocco' (click to view the painting) which displays all the classic characteristics of Francis Hustwick (1797-1865).
