Martha and the shipwrecks
Shipwrecks occur quite often in the Angel Mountain saga, and for part of her life Martha was actually a joint owner of a trading sailing ship. Although most of the story takes place on land, the sea is never far away. David's brother Griffith is lost at sea......... and if it had not been for that fact David would not have inherited the Plas Ingli estate.
This is a wonderful paining by the Russian artist Aivazovsky. How on earth did he get that translucent effect on the waves?
