A short film

Black coffee. Rough seas.

A short film. The scenes are imagined; the engravings are real.

A tall coffee pot from the 1832 Boston book, set like a galley coffee counter. Daybreak fuel for the early watch.

Rum, tea, coffee and oyster T-shirts from the ship’s galley

The galley was the ship’s kitchen, where the cook kept the ship’s fire in an iron stove. These shirts come from that end of the ship: the rum cask behind Splice the Mainbrace, the ornate teapot on Gunpowder Tea, a tall coffee pot for Black Coffee, Rough Seas, an old oyster-house sign and the Ship’s Cook with his ladle.

The pictures are engraved cuts from printers’ specimen books of 1832 and 1889, printed from the 1800s to today on heavyweight garment-dyed cotton. Find your size in the size guide.
