This fine painting of Red Hackle was painted for Benjamin Thomas, Chief Engineer for Iago. Unfortunately the painting was damaged and the painter's name has been lost. If anyone can recall the painter, who painted the vessels for the trawler companies, could they please let Denis Thomas know (email address on the Friends page).
