The paddle-steamers 'Monarch' and 'Packet'

Griffin was apprenticed to Thomas Meggitt, a house painter in Hull with a side-line in pictures. The 'Monarch' was built by Pearson's of Thorne, Yorkshire, in 1830 for William Batchelor Brownlow and William Hunt Pearson of the Hull Steam Packet Company. The 'Packet' was built c. 1830 and acquired by Joseph Gee in 1835.
