Like it, Dixie. Old ships like this have a great interest for me. The same goes for the lovely old truck you posted.

Thanks Lew, I find myself being drawn( forgive the pun) back to old ships, trucks etc.

Super painting Dixie and excellent drawing skills.

Lovely old ship so well drawn and painted.

That's a cracker, Dixie, and very much in keeping with the title. It exudes a chugging, spluttering decay as it hangs on to its last few sea miles. Great atmosphere. Bri

Thank Brian. I think there were a lot of theses ships still about when I was a lad on the 50s. I always wanted to go to sea, unfortunately I get terrible seasickness so went into the RAF and got airsickness instead.
