Frank McKelvey RHA RUA (1895-1974) The 'Ballyedward' at Carrickfergus Castle Oil on canvas, 43 x 59cm (17 x 23.25) Signed This painting depicting the 'Ballyedward' entering the harbour at Carrickfergus sees a somewhat darker palette than McKelvey typically employs. It is an atmospheric composition where the careful rendering of the motorship on the middle right is balanced by an intimate, and slightly looser depiction of Carrickfergus Castle and harbour walls on the middle left. On the funnel, the blue, white and red stripes and letter 'K' are visible to denote the company name. The Ballyedward of 552 tons was built in Faversham in 1950, and owned by John Kelly Ltd 1953-1970, It was subsequently sold to Zodiac Shipping Co., and eventually scrapped in 1974.
