Timothy's Book Of Ships

I found this sweet little book illustrated by T.E.NORTH at my local charity shop and was charmed by the pictures. I love the excitement Timothy feels seeing these grand old ships.
I feel it too!

These Flags and Funnels were a great inspiration to us in the designing of 'Ruritai'

My Grandad, Bert Hargreaves, was a boiler maker in the Lyttleton Ship Yards. His job was to hammer in the rivets in the building of the steamships. He was always good at making things.

Can't you smell the sea!
