Finally got back to Holy Trinity to take pictures of the boat and the rest of the display...I was there when they were putting it together AND went back the next day.....AND went for the Opening but there were far too many people about to get clear pictures.......Been back today and still there are so many people....I guess its been a bit of a success !! The Church people very happy too. Ken, the man who was demonstrating net making asked what would happen to the Yarn Bombing when I took it down....and could we put it back for Heritage Day ? He cut a hole in his net to demonstrate how to mend it....see if you can spot the mend when you enlarge the picture....
At this end of the Church...the Memorials to the Armed forces and the Maritime Memorials, commemorating the men of Hulls biggest fishing disasters. I had to wait ages to get a clear view !!
It is a fitting place to house the exhibition of A Coat for a Boat, a part of the touring Follow the Herring.
Now for the boat.....
It is two thirds of full size fishing boat so it can be taken apart and bolted back together and fit in a truck to transport it from place to place. A full sized one would have fitted in the space easily.
the boat is surrounded by foaming sea and sea creatures.
and sandy beaches.
A board is added for each place it visited.
Where there's fish...there are stray cats....
Will do the rest later..having trouble with blogger.....
I missed the cats altogether!!!
