Simon Francis Brown explores the uniquely illustrated journals of nineteenth-century shipbuilder Kelsick Wood from Maryport, Cumbria.
Kelsick Wood was a nineteenth-century Georgian shipbuilder in Maryport, West Cumberland, with a private passion for painting. He combined his two loves in his journals, where shipyard contracts and inventories share their pages with beautiful and curious watercolor pictures. North Harbour revels in the rich, textured story behind these little books. It shows how each small shipyard on Britains coast played its part in Britains economic expansion in the nineteenth century. It is also a personal tale, and the faces which look out from Kelsicks journals remind us that these little wooden ships carried the dreams and livelihoods of all those who owned, commanded and crewed them. Simon Francis Browns highly visual title speaks immediately to lovers of maritime history, illustration and the Georgian era, drawing in daydreamers and doodlers alike.
