He made several sea voyages to gain atmosphere far his pictures, even to the River Amazon. In local waters his favourite type seemed to be topsail schooners, often used as comparisons to the lordly liners of the above mentioned fleets. About 1930, the Browns moved to NalpD.S, Cheshire, and though Sam exhibited a beautiful picture of swans at the Liver Sketching Club's autumn exhibition one year, no further ship portraiture appeared.

  • The S.S. Gaspesia (Left) and S.S. North Shore (Right) at Montreal's Victoria
    CHAPTER 3 The s.s. Gaspesia (left) and s.s. North Shore (right) at Montreal’s Victoria Pier c. 1922 THE CLARKE STEAMSHIP COMPANY: FORMATIVE YEARS During its formative years, although they had successfully been able to export their woodpulp in chartered ships, the Clarke enterprises on the North Shore had most recently suffered from poor inbound transport services. Several companies had tried to establish subsidized steamship services between Quebec and the North Shore, but the fact that they had met with shipwreck and failure meant that the contract had changed hands quite often, especially since the outbreak of war in 1914. The area did of course have its problems. A sparse population scattered over a coastline of nearly 800 miles between Quebec and the Strait of Belle Isle at Blanc-Sablon, a lack of adequate harbour and docking facilities, and the many shoals of the river altogether presented a formidable barrier to operating a regular and profitable steamship line on the Gulf of St Lawrence. Clarke City was less than half way to the Strait of Belle Isle and the whole of the Quebec North Shore around 1920 had a total population of only about 15,000 from Tadoussac to Blanc-Sablon, of which one-third was below Clarke City. Since the South Shore to Gaspé and Prince Edward Island services had sometimes relied upon the same steamship services, a similar story could be told there. Not only had this region lost the services of the Quebec Steamship Co when the Cascapedia was withdrawn from the Gaspé Coast at the end of 1914 and then from Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia in 1917, but it had also suffered the loss of the Lady of Gaspé.
