There remained on departing ships, until the last boat left them, representatives of various Christian persuasions. F. W. Leighton, leaving Liverpool on the clipper ship Bloomer* in 1853, wrote of the presence of 'a pale man with thin visage dressed in a shabby black surtout buttoned to the chin'.

He is standing by some parcels of books which we soon hear are tracts destined for the use of the passengers ... We learn that the habit of [his] useful Society is to put a number of tracts in all vessels leaving the port of Liverpool thus they give food for the mind and instruction for eternity.'

This work was exhibited in the Spot The Box Gallery.
