An Original Written and Signed Slip bySir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet. C1829. Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet 1787 - 1871 was a British politician and baronet. Among his many business interests Acland was the owner of a schooner called Lady of St Kilda, which he bought in 1834. It was named for the remote Scottish archipelago he visited with his wife in 1812 when he made the earliest extant sketches of the old clachan. On the maiden voyage of his new yacht in 1834 he again visited the islands, leaving twenty gold sovereigns with the minister to assist in the building of new houses, which was later matched by their improving Landlord, Lt Col MacLeod of Skye. In 1842 the schooner visited the township of Melbourne in Australia, which had been founded in 1835. As a result of that visit, the suburb of St Kilda was named after the ship, and Acland St, one of St Kilda's main commercial centres, was named after Acland. Size is 198mm x 110mm. Condition is good. Light age toning. Light folding crease. More images can be taken upon request. Ref16874. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 023939
