Simon Francis Brown: The Vanishing Age of Sail

Simon Francis Brown reveals the rich, textured story behind the illustrated journals of Kelsick Wood, a Georgian shipbuilder in Maryport with a
private passion for painting. In his highly visual presentation, Simon explores Britain of the early nineteenth century, an age of invention, industry and empire, and brings to life some of those who owned, crewed and commanded the vessels Kelsick built.
