It's finished! Durham Spray Paints has completed the mural on the side of a house in Old Hartlepool showing the fishing boat "Ethel Mac" in a rough sea off the coast of Whitby.

Simply splendid. So was Tony Pearson the original artist?

No, Tony wasn't the original artist. He just had a photograph in his house - which I copied earlier and put initially on this post. Tony was a fisherman on board the vessel which, he said, was named after his late wife.
