MQ Odd Stuff - Day 10

The last day of the Heritage Open days Festival and our last "Odd Stuff" post.

Artist Harley Crossley allowed himself to be talked into producing his first Medway Queen painting, to be raffled in aid of society funds, many years ago now. Harley developed an interest in the ship and painted her again when the hull was being rebuilt in the Albion Dock in Bristol.

Sadly, Harley is no longer with us, otherwise I'm sure he would be busy painting another masterpiece in the newly restored aft saloon.

Originals in private collections.
