Description: | The American cargo and passenger ship 'Oregon' is shown leaving the River Tyne. On the right is a steam paddle tug of the kind used to tow ships out to sea from port. The outlines of the ruins of Tynemouth Priory can be seen on the cliff in the background. The North East artist John Scott was a specialist ship-portrait painter. He had worked as a sailor before training with the local shipping painter John Wilson Carmichael. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East transport North East artists military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
