Kenneth D Shoesmith
Kenneth Shoesmith’s talent for painting ships and the sea started from a young age. He was born in Halifax in Yorkshire but grew up in Blackpool. He trained on HMS Conway from the age of sixteen and worked for both Southern Railways and the Royal Mail Lines when he travelled the world on ships. Much of his work was for the Royal Mail Lines although other travel and transport companies of the day employed his skills in paintings. His work captures the golden age of the ocean liner travel in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The pinnacle of his career was the collection of murals for Cunard White Star‘s Queen Mary whose maiden voyage was in 1936.
