Beautiful old marine ship painting, oil on canvas with rocky coastline, possible the Grand Manan. I believed it to be an English ship. The dark navy flag is believed to be that of the Flag of the Lord High Admiral, it became known as the Admiralty Flag after 1710 when the office was put into commission and remained so, with a brief intermission when the Duke of Clarence was created Lord High in Admiral in 1827, until the board was abolished in 1964. I have located on the back of the the painting the letters C.L. and the numbers 1789, these could be artist initials and possibly a date but I can't verify that. There is also some writing in the lower right hand corner of the painting, but I have tried everything possible to identify it. The dimensions are:
                                                 Frame,  33 1/4" wide
                                                              28  3/4" length
                                                 
                                                Painting,  25 3/4" wide
                                                                20 3/4 " length

                                                        

If anyone has any information on where this painting was drawn please contact me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
