Endeavour

with the Endeavour in the news and some pics being posted of her leaving Fremantle last week I thought I would post a sketch done by my father after he turned 90, he passed away 2 weeks shy of 93 just last year.

This is one in a series of 60 odd sailing ships he sketched.

Sketch by Ean McDonald

  Dad did a whole series of these drawn on old paper with a nib and Indian ink which I scanned for him and cleaned up the backgrounds. there are 50 or 60 in all from Australian historic, Dutch merchantmen and a series on ship types.
  He sold a few had them in places like the maritime museum etc
