Dull and Dazzling!
Tobias Rehberger's Dazzle Ship in London is one of two Dazzle Ships painted in the summer 0f 2014, HMS President in London, and the historic pilot ship, the Edmund Gardner, in Liverpool
The dazzle style in which the two ships were painted was inspired by the famous glaring colours and jagged lines of the ‘dazzle’ camouflage, designed to confuse enemy U-boat captains.
The geometrically patterned boats would have been a familiar sight during the First World War, when hundreds of shipping convoys sailed to and from Britain’s ports.
These eye-catching vessels continue to remind people of the crucial role ships played in the country’s wartime survival.
