The Trevor Whelan Collection Other than family holidays at the seaside I have had no obvious links with the sea. However, like many people, I developed an interest in ships and ports which, in recent years, has become part of my work as a transport professional. My love of the Isle of Wight has inevitably grown to include a fascination with the Solent and the large variety of maritime traffic that uses it. This gallery features a modest selection of my maritime images, taken over a period of 25 years. I make no apology for including a large proportion of IoW ferries as they are a significant and inseparable part of my interest in the island. |
