This fine porcelain commemorative collector plate features original artwork by A.H. Barrett depicting the historic paddle steamship Enterprise, commanded by Captain James Henry Johnston. Framed with a rich gold rim, the central illustration captures the 464-ton hybrid steam-and-sail vessel flying the Union Jack and Red Ensign flags as smoke billows from its central funnel.
Crafted by Heritage Porcelain under the Huguenot Royale maker's mark, this piece is part of a worldwide limited edition of 10,000 plates. The reverse features an inscribed historical text commemorating the vessel's arrival at Table Bay on October 13, 1825—as the first steamship to reach the bay, greeted by crowds at the waterfront and saluted by guns from the Castle.
