Paul Deacon, marine artist, will speak to a presentation about his time working on small ships “Coasting Northern Europe and Beyond 1970s/80s”, traversing random sea routes from the Baltic Sea to West Africa and all in-between. These images and commentary will give a unique insight into Paul’s years working on coasting ships, the seafaring life, various voyages, cargoes and ports of call. It was a less hurried time before GPS, computers and smartphones.
