Description

This evocative tribute captures the enduring spirit of the schooner Nancy Dawson, a 110-foot yacht built in 1848 by Cuanery and Nicholson of Cowes. Set within a rope-bordered medallion, the stylised vessel sails forward with one crimson sail—a nod to resilience and remembrance. Beneath the image, a commemorative plaque recounts her dual legacy: first as a Royal Thames Yacht Club vessel aiding in the Crimean rescue mission, and later as a private circumnavigator of the globe. The inscription also honours her namesake, NancyD, a Drascombe Lugger
