Stave 3 : The Ship, with my Apologies

I must apologize to anyone who has checked in on this blog recently, because I've taken a (hopefully brief) hiatus from this illustration project.  I'm working on some paintings, including a commissioned piece, and I've also been doing some costume and backstage work at a local theater.  And there are only so many hours in the day.

This is from Stave 3.  After visiting the lighthouse, Christmas Present flies with Scrooge over the ocean, where they see a ship.  

I made my drawing after studying this Dutch drawing of a barque (my eternal thanks to Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and their contributors!) : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Barkskibs_staende_rigning2.png

I am also indebted, once again, to Turner, Hokusai, and Hiroshige.  They aren't the only artists I look at, but they're pretty good.
