Description: | This picture shows a fishing boat entering the mouth of the River Tyne at evening, sailing towards North Shields. On the right can be seen the High and Low Lights, used to guide ships into the safe channel of the river before the piers were built. Charles Napier Hemy was born in Newcastle, and took lessons at the town's School of Design. Hemy left the North East in about 1865, and settled in Cornwall. However, he seems to have returned North on this occasion, probably to visit his family. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work North Tyneside artists living in the North East watercolours buildings and views art North East artists men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
