About this Event

Ship's figureheads are works of Art, Craft, and Symbolism, with a bit of added superstition. Not nearly enough is generally known about them!

A specialist in IT and computing Alan Denham has taught in schools, for the Open University and for the WEA. He is a novelist of some renown. He is a very talented woodworker. He devotes what spare time he has to working at the Sunderland Maritime Heritage Trust. You mustn’t mention model gun carriages to him though!
