AGM of the Association of Historical and Fine Art Photographers, British Library, London

2018 AGM foyer, for members and invited guests, saw photographers examples of current work being displayed to delegates.

The first image is of HMS Tamar scans from photogrammetry work.

The second is two images, taken from my book, of HMS Sybille and HMS Windsor Castle.

So severely rotted was the wood that a conservation team had to remove her head and sever the torso into sections. Allowing it to dry it out in a controlled environment over many months. She is now fully restored and back to her former glory, hung at The Box museum, Plymouth.
