Clive Carter Painting

In the old Harvey Foundry premises, Hayle.
Painted by Clive Carter in 1999.
Affixed to the old gate, and surrounded by leaves.
View of the end of Penpol Quay, from Carnsew.
Cornubia had two funnels, and I know Clive was quite exact about his renditions - I was going to try and work out which ships they were; Samuel Warren designed the special ships with holds to be able to carry the boilers to Peru and the like; I am finishing the list of ships, next thing is to arrange them in chronological order of service. I am always pleased to find another one of these. I have been offered sight of more ....
 
Oops. Slight mis-counting of funnels on my part. Very shoddy.

I m not a funnel-counter,
I m the funnel-counter s mate.
I m only counting funnels
Cos the funnel-counter s late!
