Boats on the river Ore sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing.

The River Ore in Suffolk flows behind a shifting shingle spit known as Orfordness, creating a unique and sheltered tidal estuary. Historically, the river and its local ports were active centers for coastal trading, fishing, and clandestine smuggling operations during the 18th century. Traditional wooden working boats and small sailing craft have navigated these shallow, unpredictable waters for generations.
