context : london 1902. Eleven wooden boats line the Thames jetty on a bright morning. Foreground: a small barge named Stéphane with a fresh mast, red sail furled, brass ship's telegraph mounted on deck. Behind it, three tarred lighters named Alice, Maggie, and Molly's Pride, each with simple tillers and coiled ropes. A blue-painted skiff and a small punt bob gently. A fishing smack named Jem's Hope with patched tan sails. A sturdy lighter called Tom's Diligence. A slightly crooked but charming lighter named Will's Folly. All boats freshly painted, flying coloured cloth flags. Victorian London backdrop: smoky sky, warehouses, London Bridge distant. Children and old rivermen aboard, waiting. Brown river water, sparkling sun, wheeling gulls. Ver más
