The only information I can find is below. Whether it is the same ship or not, I'm not sure. Maybe someone can help.
The stamp is issued by Tchad but that is not much help as Tchad is a landlocked country in central Africa and has nothing to do with shipping.
Print entitled 'The 'Carlisle Castle', 1700 Tons Austin Cooper Commander'. The ship was built in 1868 by Green's at Blackwall for their London to Australia run. Here she flies their Blackwall line house flag at the main and is shown hove-to off a craggy coast with her passsengers and crew watching over the port rail as she picks up people, probably survivors, from a small boat. Despite the launch date of the ship the artist's monogram has the figure '53' below it, in the lower right corner of the image, which is currently inexplicable.

Re: Carlisle Castle
Built as an iron hulled full rigged cargo sailing ship on the Blackwall yard, for Green & Co for his Blackwall Line.
September 1868 launched as the CARLISLE CASTLE.
Tonnage 1,545 gross, 1,458 net, dim. 229.8 x 37.8 x 22.8ft
Two decks
She was the second iron hulled ship built on the Blackwall yard.
Homeport London.
The CARLISLE Castle was very heavily rigged, crossing three skysails yards, and had a double set of stunsails, including storm lower stunsails for running easting down. She had also a yard half way down the main topgallant sail, to which the sail was laced so that she could run under half the topgallant sail if required.
She was a study sailer but seldom made more as 300 miles a day.
Her first voyages were to Calcutta, India, and the first return voyage took her 169 days, she was heavily fouled below the waterline. She was reported by Lloyds as overdue one month before her arrival.
Later was she used in the emigrant and cargo trade to Australia.
When she was barque rigged I do not known but later she carried this rig.
Her best passage in the trade to Australia was 80 days in 1877, her homeward run from Melbourne she did make in 86½ days to the East India Dock in London. She was loaded with wool this voyage.
Spring 1880 she made an other good passage when she went out from the Lizards to Melbourne in 74 days.
1893 She was sold, not renamed but was kept in the same trade to Australia.
1899 She sailed from Glasgow bound for Australia with a general cargo; she was last sighted by the P&O liner OCEANA, when she was under full sail on the west coast of Australia.
She was wrecked on Coventry Reef near Rockingham in the night of 12 or 13 July 1899 with the loss of the entire crew.
The first vessel on the scene found a mast projecting from the sea, and it appeared she had run on the reef in a heavy sea, then slipped off and sank in deep water.
No bodies were recovered but the dead toll was eventually confirmed as 22.
The wrecksite is on Five Fathom Bank about 7km west of Penguin Island, in Shoalwater Bay, Australia.
Around the wrecksite you can find whisky bottles and ballast bricks.
