William Frederick Mitchell
William Frederick Mitchell (Calshot, 1845–1914, Ryde, Isle of Wight) was a British artist commissioned to paint many naval and merchant ships.
Mitchell's collected works were originally published in
watercolour but he painted some oils
as well.
Mitchell wrote a short autobiography for the 1904 May/June issue of The Messenger, a magazine for deaf people, in which he describes how
HM Coastguard stationed at Calshot Castle, taught him to speak. The autobiography relates his move to Ryde on the Isle of Wight, shortly after marriage to Miss Woodman in 1881. It also claims Queen Victoria, Edward, Prince of Wales, the German Emperor,[clarification needed] and the Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich of Russia among Mitchell's patrons.[1][2][3][4]
