See below for Details on The Cable Ship "Nexus" on the Mersey
The Cable Ship 'Nexus', originally an oil drilling ship was converted at Birkenhead by Coe Metcalf Shipping for BT Marine who commissioned 2 paintings, one for the boardroom, one for presentation to Coe Metcalf for the excellent work, completed in budget & on time.
The chairman and chief executive of BT Marine, Captain John Simkins, took Gordon Frickers to Birkenhead to inspect the ship and the Mersey. The artist also worked closely with the design office.
After the presentation, Tony Hart wrote to Gordon Frickers:
The composition and the quality of your painting is quite simply stunning and has deeply impressed everyone who has seen it. The detail, lighting and colours deserve particular attention; the inclusion of another CMS vessel in the background is a delightful touch as is the choice of venue.
T.C. Hart, Managing Director of Coe Metcalf Shipping Ltd.
He also commissioned a set of cards for Christmas and as a superior with compliments card.
