Ships of the Victorian &

Edwardian Navy :

I have been drawing the ships of the Victorian and Edwardian Navy for thirty years for my personal pleasure and I am including some of these drawings on this site in the hope that others may find them of interest. The original drawings are all in pencil. Reducing the file size and therefore the download time has resulted in some loss of detail. A set of postcards featuring eight of my drawings is now available for £4.00, plus postage.
