I am starting to put the finishing touches to my dining room. I have just hung a picture that we bought in Whitby. The picture is by a local artist, John Freeman. “The Wreck of the Dimitry of Narva” is a depiction of a real life wreck which was reported in The Whitby Gazette in 1887. Apparently the report inspired Bram Stoker as he was writing “Dracula” and he renamed the ship “The Demeter of Varna” as the vessel that brought Dracula to Whitby. I really like the colours of the picture and it looks great in the room.
