J.L. wrote; “Knowing the legendary Sir Robin Knox-Johnston commissioned a painting from you is more than a recommendation as far as I am concerned”.

It was after seeing a collection of Gordon Frickers paintings of British India, Blue Funnel and Alfred Holt ships that Sir Robin asked to meet and decided to commission the artist.

You too could own a painting of this quality from Gordon Frickers, contact us.

Bamora (1961 to 1971) was a British India Steam Navigation Company ship.

Although the company has a long fascinating history, was loved and respected, BI was little known in Britain, eventually merging (don’t say ‘taken over!’ to a B I person) with P & O who had built and owned Canberra.

Happily P & O are still with us today.

Gordon Frickers client comes from a family of sea men.

He has worked in shipping all his life, still does.

Mr. Leeson has a very personal connection with Bamora and Canberra about which he has written in ‘further reading‘.

To quote my young sister Alison ”  just to say your painting looks fabulous!
