Summary

A Carley liferaft
A grey/blue watercolour study of an empty Carley liferaft floating on calm water. It may be a study for a picture of 'ML282' picking up the crew of the 'Iphigenia' during the Zeebrugge Raid of 1918, in which her cutter is towing a Carley raft with Lt Bonham-Carter of the 'Intrepid' in it (repr. in M.A. Wyllie, 'We Were One' (1935). The calm sea on which it is afloat has been coloured in with pale pink wash, and a darker overlying blue/grey shadow cast by the raft itself in the foreground. See also PAE0013.
