Recently on the subject of Whitstable's Oyster Festival, The Greta is a common sight in the summer around Whitstable too. A vintage Thames sailing barge, it is used today to take people on trips around the Thames estuary, for example over to the wind farms and I believe she is usually docked at Faversham, west of Whitstable. The 'bishop's finger' symbol on the mainsail (derived from a shepherd's crook) is a logo belonging to her sponsor, Shepherd Neame Brewery, Britain's oldest brewery, also based in Faversham.
Watercolour on 300gsm Whatman watercolour paper (SOLD).
