She was designed by Samuel Hartt Pook, built by George Thomas in Rockland, Maine and launched in 1853. On her first voyage she was commanded by veteran packet ship captain Asa Eldridge of Yarmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.She sailed on the Australian immigrant trade route for several years, notably colliding with the British merchant ship Elizabeth Walker , which sank, but Red Jacket was able to rescue the crew. In 1872, Red Jacket became a lumber carrier from Quebec to London and in 1883 was sold to Blandy Brothers, a Portuguese shipping company, who used her as a coaling hulk. She dragged her anchors in a heavy gale and was driven ashore in 1885.

FRAMED 45.75" X 67".THOMAS WHITCOMBE, United Kingdom, 1752-1824, The 44-gun frigate Medina in two positions, circa 1810. Dimensions: Oil on canvas, 39" x 60.25". Framed 45.75" x 67". Provenance: Jack Partridge, Edgecombe, Maine.Purchased from the above at the Winter Antiques Show, New York, January 26, 1986.The Kelton Collection of Marine Art & Artifacts.The Medina was a fine example of an East Indiaman constructed after the turn of the 19th Century. Painting a ship from more than one perspective, as seen here, was a common practice in ship portraiture. Whitcombe accomplishes this while presenting a detailed composition of a ship leaving its pilot and with its crew busily engaged in setting sails for her voyage.Thomas Whitcombe was one of the important maritime chroniclers during the French Revolutionary War period, and he made paintings for at least 150 wartime engravings, in addition to his peaceful subjects and other war pictures. He exhibited 56 paintings at the Royal Academy between 1783 and 1824. Thirty-five of his paintings are in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich.
