Description of the Drawing
Translated by AI: This braille drawing was inspired by Vaughan Williams' ‘A Sea Symphony’. Beneath the sailing ship, three wavy lines suggest the roaring swell of the sea. Above the waves, the ship’s hull can be felt, featuring three portholes. The sailing ship has two masts, each with a sail unfurled. There are also several cross-bars (spreader) on both masts. Four ropes symbolise the entire rigging that braces the masts. The ship is sailing to the right. The protruding bowsprit is marked on the bow. At the very top of the left mast, a flag is flying in the opposite direction to the ship’s course.
