Another bit of Staithes (WiP 5)
A detail of the sea wall and slipway by Staithes Beck. Staithes was once a centre of ship and boat building. It also supported a large fishing fleet. Today there are still some fishermen but the ship building declined rapidly as the industry increasingly moved to steel ships. Modern sea defences have altered the beckside considerably in recent years. Drawn with a Pentel 0.5mm pencil on an A4 cartridge paper sketchpad
