1214416 Wreck of the Salween, South Shields Sands (pencil & w/c on paper) by Horton, George Edward (1859-1950); 63.0 x43.9 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: The Scandinavian ship \'Salween\' ran aground on the Herd Sands at South Shields in 1895, after being damaged on the South Pier rocks during a north-east gale. George Horton probably painted the picture on the beach itself, because the sky is spattered with water droplets, probably sea spray. Many of the colours have been applied while the surrounding paint was still wet, mimicking the watery environment of the beach. George Horton spent much of his career in the North East.); Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.
