Tower of Refuge open edition print has been created by Emily Ward an artist from the North East. This lovely art print is also available framed.
A mysterious skyline with hints of purples provides the backdrop for the historic RNLI landmark on Emily's art print.
Waves lap over the little island sending sea spray over the tower. You can imagine how this refuge must have been in real stormy seas.

Tower of Refuge
The Tower of Refuge
in Douglas Bay on the Isle of Man was completed in 1832.
A bronze plaque on the Tower dated May 1932 reads "in grateful memory of Sir William Hillary, the founder of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution who 100 years ago erected this Tower on the St Marys Rock as a warning to all sea craft and as a refuge in case of shipwreck".
The partially submerged reef that the landmark tower stands on, was previously often responsible for the damage and sinking of ships. The tower provided both a visible warning for incoming ships and a refuge for those in distress
