Re: Shiplover's Port of Rotterdam,1950-70
An absolutely astounding body of work! I can only marvel at the tenacity required to believe in such a project, to research and then execute in such fine detail this excellent work which is of considerable interest not only for the artistic merit but for the historical content.
Congratulations Shiplover...bloody marvellous!!

Re: Shiplover's Port of Rotterdam,1950-70
I'm sure this series of paintings should be hanging in the offices of The Port Of Rotterdam.
They are a record of a way of life, all but forgotten, with today's Bulk and Containerised cargo handling.
Thanks for sharing them
Jim
