Video of the schooner Virginia

Schooner Virginia documentary. Click on the

My pal Mike Goodwin is a sailor, a boatbuilder and an artist. He’s also one of the most thoroughly salty people I know: he grew up in a family in which many members made their living at sea and much of his life has focused on it, and early on in life he actually knew and worked with the great Howard Irving Chappelle.
I was touched when he wanted to share the Virginia video above with intheboatshed.net, as she’s a splendid sight and I know he’s rightly proud to have taken part in the building of her. Click on the image above to play the short video.
Paintings and drawings from British Sea-Fishermen by Peter F Anson
[ad name=”intheboatshed-post”]
A small selection of images from the book British Sea-Fishermen. I’d
like in particular to draw attention to the first image below the main picture,
as it shows the interior of an admirable boat shed!
I’ve just been reading Peter F Anson’s charming and informative book British Sea-Fishermen, written for the Britain in Pictures series, and published in 1945. The paintings and drawings above are a small selection I’ve chosen from the book, and I trust you like them as much as I did!
A little later, I’ll put up some of the pages, and the colour illustrations.
