Maritime Images
John Freeman has created many images of the maritime
history and present day nautical life of Whitby.
His studies, during the visits of the Australian
replica of Captain Cook’s “HM Endeavour” have
produced accurate and exciting images of this iconic ship. Cook’s
other ships have also been featured, including John Freeman’s
study of Cook’s supply ship “Discovery” leaving
Whitby.
Fishing boats, cobles and busy harbour scenes feature
in the collection, along with dramatic images of the piers, lighthouses
and rugged cliffs swept by the North Sea, in its many moods.
John Freeman’s lifeboat studies depicting
local historic events add a powerful dimension to the gallery
of works
H.M. Endeavour
The Ship
The replica of Captain James
Cook's famous ship H.M. Endeavour, in which he
carried out so much important exploration of the Southern Hemisphere,
is a loving recreation, built in Freemantle, Australia over a period
of 6 years and completed in 1993. The original idea of the Australian
National Maritime Museum, she took countless skilled man hours,
millions of dollars and enormous dedication to complete. She is
a beautiful ship worthy of all the efforts Australia made to create
her.
The Artist
John Freeman has worked from his Market Place
studio since 1969 and is primarily known as a landscape artist.
However, the moving and memorable visit of H.M. Endeavour
has inspired a series of studies of this beautiful ship in its spiritual
home port.
