The Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral in Rijeka preserves the painting of the Barque Contessa Hilda, by an unknown author from around 1908, oil on hardboard, PPMHP 100351, 74 x 59 cm. She has all the sails unfurledon the masts. The foremast and main mast have spar sails and the after mast has gaffsails. Smaller staysails are unfurled between the masts. The ship has an Austro-Hungarian flag on the after mast. A smaller steamer can be seen in front of the bowsprit with jibs. The sky is dominated by light blue and the sea is greenish gray. The Contessa Hilda sailing ship was built in Glasgow in 1875 as Blairgowrie. She even had 1646 GRT. Until 1907, the owner of the ship was Franjo Leva from Veli Lošinj. With her more than 70 meters in length, she represented a large sailing ship, the capehorner, which proved herself in sailing around the world, 1908-1909 under Master Branko Širola. As a steel sailing ship, she was the last Lošinj ocean-going sailing ship to sail around the world. Prior to her last voyage around the world, the Contessa Hilda, under Master Aldebrand Petrin, set a record in sailing from London to Iquique in Chile, a total of 12,000 NM in 56 days.
