Description: | Fishermen are scrubbing the hull of a boat to rid it of barnacles, which would otherwise affect the way it sailed. Behind the boat is the black-and-white hull of the training ship 'Wellesley', which was stationed at North Shields. The ship had been purchased from the navy by a group of local benefactors for use as a sailing school for boys. The artist Bernard Benedict Hemy painted many views of his home area of Shields. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1880 to 1910 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Bernard Benedict Hemy | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
