CollectionRick Humphrey Paintings and SketchesCreatorHumphrey, RickDescriptionIn March 1961, we awoke to find that a Greek freighter named the Dominator had crashed on the reef at Rocky Point. Some time later, a salvage barge that had been attached to the ship broke free during a storm and washed onto the rocks at Lunada Bay. The next morning, we climbed down the cliff and threw a large wooden plank across to the deck and went aboard. There was still food and other personal items onboard, so we pretended to be pirates who had captured and looted an enemy ship.NotesOriginal: oil on canvas, 24 x 60 in.Held ByPalos Verdes Library District.
