EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless scene of seamen diligently hauling a clinker-built dingy up onto the shore. The photograph, taken in England in 1821, showcases the remarkable construction technique employed in this type of vessel. Each plank of the dingy overlaps the one below it, creating a sturdy structure that can withstand even the harshest conditions at sea. The craftsmanship is evident as we observe how these skilled seamen fasten each plank together using clinched copper nails. These nails are hammered into place with such precision that their protruding points are then bent back on themselves, ensuring an unyielding bond between planks. The aquatint technique used to create this image adds depth and texture to every detail captured within its frame. It allows us to appreciate not only the technical aspects of boatbuilding but also transports us back to a bygone era when life revolved around maritime pursuits. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we cannot help but be transported to a time when England's shores were bustling with activity and adventure. This print serves as a reminder of our rich nautical heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to mastering the art of shipbuilding.
