Note du spécialiste
Tuke made several studies of cargo ships moored up in Falmouth, with their distinctive black and red hulls, including two examples currently in the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society’s Tuke Collection, Falmouth (A151 Harbour Scene and A173 Steam vessels).
Immediately after the First World War, there was a great surplus of shipping, and due to its deep water (both in the harbour and on the river Fal) Falmouth was often used to store cargo ships.
