The tradition of ship portraiture lives on in South Wales in the person of Terry Rogers of Newport. During the war he served on the corvette HMS Bergamot, sailing in the difficult north Russian convoys, and this canvas records Terry’s recollections of those voyages. HMS Bergamot is the escort vessel depicted on the right of this painting.
