“The maritime world never believed that we could encounter 27 + waves at sea until they measured one on a North Sea Oil platform” ~ Sir Robin Knox-Johnston
A typical merchant ship, circa 1970 off Cape Town where the Indian Ocean and Antarctic currents collide; in stormy weather, a recipe for dangerously steep waves and heavy breaking seas.

A developing painting.
My client asked me to push the limits of my abilities, for a dramatic painting.
It was our was intention to show something of the danger met with courage, persistence, patience and fine seamanship, encountered by the men who worked quietly to make so much that is good in our modern world, the merchant seamen.
