This painting was commissioned by Quiksilver. It was framed by one of the old lifebuoys from the Indies Trader which were replaced during its stay in Durban and presented to Bruce Jackson to display in his coffee shop at New Pier in Durban. For more info about the Quiksilver Crossing you can read the newspaper article above.

I also did a number of Shirt Prints for Quiksilver using paintings and drawings of the Indies Trader which can be seen on the T-shirt prints and Art history pages
