Sailing Ship

In honor of Ocracoke Island's seafaring traditions I share with you today a pen & ink sketch I made of a  three-masted, square rigged sailing vessel. Many years ago dozens of ships like this one might be seen offshore, or anchored near Ocracoke.


















This month's Ocracoke Newsletter is a tribute to a wonderful man who did much for Ocracoke Island, Marvin Wyche Howard (1897-1969). You can read it here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news052113.htm.

    you could no doubt do a fantastic T-shirt business. drawing inspiration from OI, your images imprinted on t shits, sold on line could build a college fund. i.e. a Hummit an OI guy that likes hummus LOL All kidding aside people like t shirts as souvenirs and you have talent thank you for sharing.
