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.
