The famous Russian destroyer Novik
The destroyer Novik was the first of the new generation ships built for the Russian navy prior to the Great War. This is a photograph of indeterminate date (at least for me).
I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
