Merchant Sail
Working sailing ship paintings introduced here via the Gordon Frickers paintings and yarns, my experience includes learning basic seamanship around the Thames and Medway Estuaries, from some of the last Britons to work cargo under sail. The same waters Drake, Cook and Nelson learned their small boat handling.
If you appreciate and are looking for the best in marine painting you have found it here.

As Gordon’s marine art here demonstrates, over the years Gordon Frickers has deepened his affinity for merchant sailing ships, painted many and sailed upon a few including ‘Maria Asumpta‘, at the time the oldest sailing 19th century square rigger and still capable of carrying cargo, Maria Asumpta.
