About the Work
“My
Father
spent
virtually
his
whole
life
on
the
sea,
and
I
often
used
to
accompany
my
mother
to
visit
his
ships
when
in
port.
The
river
Tyne
of
my
childhood
was
a
busy
place,
with
shipyards,
loading
docks,
fish
markets,
and
great
slag
heaps
of
coal.
This
old,
crusty
sea
dog
has
many
a
tale
to
tell
–
he's
living
the
past
at
this
moment.”
