This was to be one of her last travel adventures. She first came to fame by taking a voyage around the world in 1876/77, also aboard the Sunbeam. After a lifetime of ill health, Lady Brassey succumbed to malaria while on another voyage to Mauritius & was buried, appropriately, in the sea she loved.

Pearson & J. Cooper after drawing by R. T. Pritchett. A lovely, nearly pristine,…
