Art captures love affair with boats and the sea

WHO better to hold his first solo exhibition ahead of the arrival of the Tall Ships into Waterford next month than a man who lives by the sea and works on it every week.

Passage East car ferry skipper and well-known Dunmore man John Colfer’s exhibition has opened at the Waterford Museum of Treasures Gallery.

Tall Ships on Paper runs until July 2 and consists of close to 30 watercolours and drawings of sailing ships, particularly Waterford’s historical ships.
