Description: | St Mary's Island, near Whitley Bay, is pictured before the lighthouse was built in 1897. The tide is receding, leaving piles of seaweed on the sand. The causeway linking the mainland to the island will soon be uncovered. Fishermen are sorting out their nets in their coble (small boat) on the sandy causeway. Bernard Hemy spent a few years as a sailor as a young man. He worked for many years as an artist in North Shields, and specialised in sea and shipping scenes. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work artists oil paintings North Tyneside living in the North East art | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
