The work was first purchased, and possibly commissioned by Elhanan Bicknell. It was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1844 at the National Gallery in London, under the longer title The Day after the Wreck. A Dutch East Indiaman on Shore in the Ooster Scheldt: Zierkizee in the Distance and again at the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Artists in 1845 [2] Today it is in the collection of the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield, having been acquired in 1929.[3] A separate watercolour version also exists.[4]
It should not be confused with a painting of the same title by J.M.W. Turner, a friend and contemporary of Stanfield.[5]
