Abstract: |
The study recorded 1,482 legible graffiti which ranged from sets of initials through to complex images of fully rigged sailing vessels. The commonest graffiti were sets of initials (731 examples) followed by outlines of shoes (432), which, like the initials, occasionally were dated. Full names, some with dates, formed the next group (227) with the number of images of hand and ships being surprisingly similar (45 and 47 respectively). The remaining images tended to be found in very small numbers - e.g. five 'love' hearts, two crosses and two shoes shown in profile. |
