Description: | Shipwreck was a constant danger on the North-East coast. The South Shields artist John Scott has shown two two-masted ships caught in rough seas. The far ship has taken down most of its sails to cope with the violence of the winds. Despite the lightness of the sky, it seems that the sun has started to set, creating an orange glow on the horizon. John Scott had spent some time as a sailor, and was a skilled painter of scenes of ships at sea. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1845 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Scott | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
