George Chambers, who came to the notice of the general public somewhere about the 'thirties, was born and bred to the sea, and knew intimately, to his cost, the ways of ships and of sailors. His father was a seaman of Whitby, where he was born in 1803. Having at the age of eight completed his education so far as book-learning was con- cerned, he was put to work unloading coal in the harbour. Two years later he went to sea, and being of unusually small build, he had a particularly large share of... rough treatment, which permanently weakened his constitution. During this period he began to show artistic leanings, his tastes rinding expression in such various ways as paying visits to inspect pictures in towns at which he touched, painting the portraits of various vessels, and decorating the ship's buckets. It was his success in the latter direction which at length attracted MARINE PAINTERS 161 the skipper of another vessel, and brought about his release. His indentures were cancelled with two years of the seven still unserved, and at fifteen he went ashore at his native town to seek his fortune as an artist.
