"Lostwithiel School Play Takes the Audience on a Seafaring Adventure with the Ship's Wheel, December 1984" In the charming town of Lostwithiel, Cornwall, back in December 1984, the local school put on a captivating play that transported its audience to the high seas. Amidst a backdrop reminiscent of an Eccentric Flying Machine chromolitho, young Julie Alexander took center stage as she modeled the latest swimwear while aboard a majestic sail ship sailing through the Channel. The scene was set with precision and attention to detail. The ladies at the helm exuded confidence and grace as they navigated their way along Riverboat Hassan. It was as if time had turned back to ca. 1833 when warships ruled these waters - captured perfectly by CW Eckersberg's masterpiece. But this enchanting tale didn't stop there; it extended beyond theatrical boundaries. In Greenwich, London, during November 1936, an office buzzed with excitement as a man spoke animatedly into his telephone receiver about maritime adventures unfolding before his eyes. Even former British Prime Minister Edward Heath couldn't resist being captivated by ships' wheels. On board Great Britain II alongside Roy Mullender, he marveled at their intricate design and timeless significance. Meanwhile, George Greenwell found solace aboard Ardwina of Isle of Wight in April 1936 - his hands firmly gripping the wheel as he sailed across vast oceans under a crescent moon's watchful gaze. And who could forget Julie Alexander? She effortlessly showcased her beauty and elegance once again while donning cutting-edge swimwear upon that sail ship in Channel waters. From Romania's Black Sea Coast to Constanta Port during Black Sea Tall Ships Regatta - seamen from all walks of life united under one common symbol: The Ship's Wheel. A sculpture immortalized this connection between man and sea - reminding us all of our deep-rooted fascination with the ocean's vastness.
