A Christmas Mail Ship by Peter Knox

This painting was formerly donated by supporter Peter Knox to the Marine Society some years ago. As this card proved extremely popular as a Christmas card in 1998, we have decided to re-print it. It is a painting of a ship delivering it’s Christmas post to eager recipients waiting in the snowy harbour. Card size: 172 x 126mm

A pack of ten cards with envelopes costs £3.95, and can be ordered by clicking on the link and downloading the order form. Each card reads the same message “With Best Wishes for Christmas and the New Year”.
