Steamer Oneida in the Atlantic. 19th-century artwork of the voyage undertaken in 1868 by the claimant to the fortune and baronetcy of Roger Tichbourne, missing presumed dead after a shipwreck off Brazil in 1854. In 1866, an Australian claiming to be Tichbourne was accepted by his mother, who died in March 1868. The claimant and advisers travelled in September 1868 to Brazil to attempt to prove his claim, contested by the rest of the family. By 1874, the claimant (an Arthur Orton) had been convicted of perjury and imprisoned. Lithograph from volume 3 (1877) of the 9-volume 'The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne' (1875-1880).
