The Port of Saltash

Added a new painting of the Port of Saltash and the Royal Albert Bridge (built by I.K. Brunel). They never saw the Flying Scotsman with Pullman Coaches, but you can. See: The Port of Saltash

Added a new painting of S.B. Cambria and M.V. River Trader of Armac Marine exchanging greetings in the splendidly named Black Deep Channel. See: “New and Old”
