Description |
Artwork made from yarn, depicting two small ships in the Goderich Harbour, and a larger ship further in the lake. The Goderich Lighthouse is depicted on a cliff on the left side, and there is a British flag flying beside it. A smaller lighthouse and flag are by the right shore. One of the ships also has a British flag. The harbour scene is at the centre and is surrounded by yarn which frames the scene like a window. This yarn is white, with red detailing. The outer edge is green and yellow yarn. The artwork has a gold frame, and there is a brown paper backing and a hanging wire attached to the back of the frame. At the top of the paper backing, handwritten text reads: "Circa 1868 Done by a sailor on a British Man of War that wintered in Goderich 1868 wool & silk". |
