I was born and brought up in Leith, and lived there for a while after the Navy. I was in the Fire Service for three years then transferred to Fife so the kids could grow up out of the city. Still in Fife and love it.

HMS Dolphin passing St Abbs Head with some local inshore fishing craft
HMS Dolphin (1882) was a screw sloop launched in 1882. She served as a submarine depot ship in WW1 She foundered in 1925 but was beached then salvaged and used as a school ship in Leith. She was broken up in 1977. I did my 'Carering Boy' training in her , straight from school in 1956.

WOW! I just chanced upon this thread and it is exhilarating! Jim, to my eye you have captured the essence of being at sea.
If I can offer a comparison, a few years ago I was in an Alpine Museum and saw an exhibit of Gabriel Loppé paintings. This artist was completely familiar with his subject, including its most subtle nuance, and is able to convey it on canvas. A viewer is transported to the place and time. Your work is similar.
Thanks much for sharing.
Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you enjoy them.
