Large Vintage Nautical Oil Painting

For sale is this very cool, large, Nautical Oil Painting on Canvas. It's a lovely moody piece with incredible texture and darker toned "stormy" colours. I can't quite make out the writing but it's of the Wreck of the Alaxander (something) (somewhere Head) it's signed and dated and has a solid teak wooden frame. It has the sweetest message on the back which really adds to the story of this piece. 

All of my items are genuine vintage or antique. Items of this age come with obvious age related knocks, bumps and scratches etc. In my opinion this only adds to their originality and style. If you are looking for pristine furniture or decor I doubt my items will be for you. 

Dimensions are Width 80 Height 68 all centimetres.
