Therefore, the two signatures above and below the ship. That's who painted this ship may help other forum members? |

Signed on your watercolor reads Schnars-Alquist. There was a very famous German artist and marine painter Karl Wilhelm Hugo Shnars-Liimola (Carl Wilhelm Hugo Schnars-Alquist, 1855 - 1939). See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Schnars-Alquist. He painted mostly in oil on canvas, watercolor, wrote extremely rare. I managed to find his original signature on a painting with oil (see attachment) - it is similar to that on your watercolors. But the signature on the watercolors may not match the signature of the artist's paintings, but simply to be the same as he signed, for example, letters or documents.
So there are three possibilities. First - an original watercolor Shnars-Liimola something like a rapid preliminary outline. To confirm this, we must look for the signature of the artist in a watercolor or paper. Second - this is someone with a copy of Shnars-Liimola. Third - is the work of any pupil of the artist. Ship pririsoval Shnars-Liimola, and his signature - not them. And perhaps, the ship was drawn before, and landscape pririsoval later - someone else. |

Not if your interest is due to the fact that you have read the signature watercolor above "Fr WII Prince 8 /5 9" ( "9" Improved the pencil on the "93") as "Friedrich Wilhelm II Prince"? Tempting ... if this is not the name of the ship. For the full name of Wilhelm II was Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert. Runner-one "but": he is from the Crown Prince became emperor as early as 1888 and signed "Wilhelm R" (R=Rex).
