Description: | A steam tug is towing a large sailing ship out to the mouth of the River Tyne in this view. Morning sun is shining on the white tower of the Low Light lighthouse at North Shields. The High Light is a little further to the right. These lighthouses helped ships avoid the dangerous rocks at the entrance to the River Tyne. The child in the foreground of the scene is picking up a piece of driftwood for firewood. John Mogford specialised in brightly coloured coastal views in watercolour. He mostly worked in the south of England. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | watercolours buildings and views art made in the North East children coal mining North Tyneside artists living in the North East transport North East artists South Tyneside Gateshead | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
