The composition of this print by Dave MacLeod is truly remarkable. From high above, we are granted a unique perspective that allows us to appreciate the vastness and intricacy of the dockyard. The ship itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity and maritime history, its imposing presence contrasting against the serene waters of West Float. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously captured.
