Yet more Hinterland female sailors.


Another nation's female sailors.

I can't see a poor sailor wearing a long heavy blue wool skirt so I painted them as white cotton. Female sailors wear short trousers under their skirts for small boat work, landings, and climbing the rigging.













A one pounder "pom-pom" gun is in the works with crew. Also from Hinterland.

    Nice work Scott. They look a tough bunch. Ladies, best to lock up your sons and husbands when they visit port!
