Title: Signal of Distress
Artist: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836–1910 Prouts Neck, Maine)
Date: 1890–96
Culture: American
Medium: Oil on canvas
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 899
Though Homer’s paintings were always informed by the sum of his experiences, in the 1890s he began intentionally mining his past sketches for inspiration. For Signal of Distress, in which a group of sailors prepares to launch a lifeboat during a storm, the artist may have returned to studies he made on his journey to England aboard the steamship Parthia in 1881, merging them with other observations of the sea and rescues accumulated over the years. Between first exhibiting the painting in 1891 and selling it in 1896, Homer altered the composition to create a more desperate scene. Notably, the distressed boat on the horizon, originally shown in full sail, now appears with neither sail nor any indication of human presence, nearly subsumed by waves.

What's a trip to St. John's without a quick tear up to Signal Hill? If you aren't impressed by the view you should at least get up there so you can get a feel for the wind. Personally I'd recommend feeling its strength in the summer when it doesn't cut like a high speed sword of frost, but still worth a go.
Walton Signal Station
In its early days, messages were sent to passing shipping by means of flags flown from its flag staff. This building was used to signal ships at anchor in the channel that "all was ready" to proceed up to the docks at Avonmouth and Bristol. Modern communication systems are now used and the building is no longer manned. It is mainly used as a structure to carry radar aerials.
Just below the signal station there is a seat, it is well worth resting here to admire the panoramic
view. On a clear day across the Bristol Channel you can see the Llanwern Steel Works. Up the Channel into the Severn you can see the Second Severn Crossing and the Severn Bridge. Down the Channel on the Welsh side you can see Newport and Cardiff. Further down on a clear day, the islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm and beyond the distant hills of the Quantocks, Exmoor and the Brecon Beacons come into view.

Amazing that this old signal post was not reclaimed, but hat a wonderful relic reminding cyclists of the heritage of their route
The up home signal at Moreton-in-Marsh, with its back cover removed for maintenance over the weekend of October 2-3, 2010. The post in the trackbed shows where the signal stood until August 2009. This will be removed to make way for the second track. New rails delivered in August 2009 lie to the left of the track, while more recent arrivals rest on the sleepers,
