Seascape from the 'Birkdale' Long Caption: A seascape from the 'Birkdale', showing a four-masted sailing ship on the horizon. The loosely constructed sketch shows a wide expanse of sea. This forms the main purpose of the composition and concentrates on form and colour to create the depiction of the waves. He has used short brush strokes of blue tones to indicate the movement of the waves. Everett joined the barque, 'Birkdale', and sailed from Bristol to Sabine Pass, Texas, April to June 1920.
