Moonfleet Print
Charles Shearer

Moonfleet by Charles Shearer, a dynamic print inspired by 20th century ships and the beauty of light dancing upon waves.
This print by Charles Shearer is inspired by the 20th century steam trawler fleets, which sailed from British ports to trawl the rich fishing grounds of the North Sea and the North Atlantic. In this scene, they pass the Island of Hoy and enter the tranquil waters of Scapa Flow under a full moon.
