Description: | The North East artist John Wilson Carmichael painted this view of Sunderland Harbour from sketches he had made earlier in his career. The scene shows the North Pier extension (completed 1841) under construction on the right. The lighthouse was designed by Jonathan Pickernell and built in 1802. The old timber Tide Light (replaced in 1856) is shown on the South Pier. A brown-sailed cutter and a white-sailed brig are leaving the harbour. A small fishing coble in the foreground points to the main scene. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists oil paintings living in the North East transport events art North East artists Sunderland men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
