DELTA (painting)
Adeiladwyd y barc Delta yn 'Hill's Drydock' yng Nghaerdydd ym 1865 i gwmni Henry Bath, Abertawe. Cafodd ei hadeiladau fel un o'r enwog 'Swansea copper ore barques' a fu'n cludo mwyn copr o Chile i Abertawe, heibio Cape Horn. Roedd y llongau yma'n enwog trwy'r byd ac fe'u edmygwyd yn arbennig gan Joseph Conrad. Fe'i sgrapiwyd yn Bilbao ym 1934.
The iron barque DELTA was launched from Hills' Yard, Cardiff in June 1865. Built for Henry Bath & Co., Swansea, she was 164 feet long and registered at 567 tons. She usually traded between Swansea or Hull and various South American ports, particularly Valparaiso, normally carrying railway equipment out and returning with guano. Sold to the Swansea Merchants Co. in 1875, she was then resold several times during the 1890's and finally converted to a pontoon in 1908. She was scrapped at Bilbao in 1934.
