The "Dunter III" had a painful birth. The shipyard which had begun to build her went bankrupt with barely the hull completed. This was transported to Shetland, and the local firm, which had undertaken to complete the task, also went bottom up! A management buy-out of this firm ensued, and the "Dunter III" was eventually completed, somewhat behind schedule, in 2002.
This seascape, in oils, features the boat at one of her regular destinations as a tour boat - the cliffs at Noss, which are a world-renowned seabird breeding colony. The artwork was commissioned by R. Longmuir, Shetland.
