That would be a Marine technician. Used to be Shipwrights, back in the day. Shipwrights are no more.

Fancy monikers but usually the same job. Shipwright was a good respectable & solid calling then.


My old man set me up to work here at The SA Harbours Board as a Shipwright but something happened & I never did.

I reckon I would have loved that job on Work Boats, Launches etc.

Ah that's right, I met a sheila & that was that. Can't even recall her name now maybe she really was forgettable after all? Margaret or summat ??? So I became a Fridgie instead after I had tried making Big Royal Show Fruit Displays & Sign writing. Nearly tripped up to be a Firie in the SAFB but chickened out beforehand after watching blokes jumping off of the Hose Tower into a canvas Mat a million feet down.

The Mat itself from that height looked about the size of a Threepenny Bit. I thought, "That is deffo not for you Dessie boy." **** no".

Of course this was well before the Aerial Ladders of today & I believe the Rescue Mat was made obsolete years ago. 'elf & Safety I suppose. I guess too many fellers were missing the target on the mat. Arms folded across the chest & legs out in front in a sitting postion & not a pretty sight to clean up off the concrete in that pose. How the hell they believed that "Civvies" could be rescued in an Emergency using that apparatus was beyond me. A Firey to throw them off perhaps?

Ok for a Qualified Firey to get down quickly though.


Then there was the Hook Ladder Race up & down the Tower. No, not today .


I could have been my Son in Law's Chief Officer by now. Or he mine?

ABOUT US

Born in Bordertown SA 1948, Ian's childhood years were spent on the foreshore of Hervey Bay. It was here that his deep love of ships and the sea developed. By the age of 8 he was actively painting with water colours moving to oils when he was 11. His first oil survived and hangs in his Hunters Hill studio.

Joining the Royal Australian Navy at 15 as an apprentice shipwright, he served 12 years reaching the rank of Chief Petty Officer. He saw active service in Vietnam 1967-68. Ian painted continually in off duty hours, recording the ships and scenes he observed during his travels. Prouds Art Gallery offered him his first one man exhibition in 1974 while he was still in the Navy, the success of this show convinced him to try becoming a full time artist once his service time expired in 1975.
After a brief stint of cruising and painting on board a 38 ft yacht, he built a studio overlooking the Whitsunday Islands, this idealic location was too far from the art world and he returned to Sydney in 1981. Married with 3 children Ian lives in Hunters Hill, Sydney, his studio the converted stables in the rear garden.

He regularly sails on his classic 45′ cutter 'Karalee', and crews on board the Barque 'James Craig' on her extended voyages. These trips reinforce Ian's deep understanding of the sea, his illustrated log books are always viewed with great interest by visitors to his studio.
In 2000 Ian was invited by the Royal Australian Navy to go to East Timor and record the Navy's involvement during the crisis, he spent time on several ships sketching and painting, the resulting paintings now hang in the Navy's Fleet Headquarters. In 2002 Ian joined the Ice Ship 'Sir Hubert Wilkins' on a 5 week voyage to Antarctica, part of his illustrated log is reproduced on this site.
Ian works mainly on commission, he exhibits with 'The Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport'. In Connecticut USA, the Gallery hosts 'The Annual International Art Exhibition' and since his first acceptance in 1987, Ian has won 6 major awards.
In 2002 he was appointed one of the Gallery's 'Premier Artists', only 20 are appointed worldwide. Ian is a member of "Kevin Hills Top 10 Australian Artists" who exhibit their work several times each year.

Ian is a Fellow of The Royal Art Society, a Fellow of The Australian Institute of History and Arts and a Fellow of The Australian Society of Marine Artists. His works hang in Government House Sydney, Sydney Stock Exchange, Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney Heritage Fleet, Royal Australian Navy, Naval Historical Society, Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, Lady Denman Museum, AMP building and many corporate and private collections throughout the World.
In 2013, Ian was appointed as the official artist for the International Fleet Review '2013' commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy.

Some nice images there bob. I particularly like the Dogger Bank Fisher & the Hervey Bay Outer Channel Buoy being sort of solitary. I like solitaries. I'm sure there are heaps more there if only they'd stop whistling past my screen.

The Hansen name of Hervey reminds me that my old Boss was a Hansen & he had a son a PO or CPO in the RAN & could have lived up there in Hervey. His dad (Jim) didn't, but that doesn't mean Lewis did or didn't. Just a thought that you may have some knowledge or if it is the same family. I spent many happy hours with Lewis driving all over the state when he came in to work & his dad sent him out with the the Vans to get him out of his hair I guess. Then he enlisted.

Would have been back in the 'nam days as the Co were building walk in Refrigerated Freezers/Storage, Aux powered cabinets at that time for the Army Engineers.

Can't really help you there, Ian is his name. One amazing fact is, Ian is completely self taught, been painting since the age of 8.

Self taught and actively painting at 8 with watercolours, won The Wide Bay and Burnett Districts Art Prize when he was only 12 as well as 1st 2nd & 3rd prize in the children's section. At this stage he was giving a set of oil paints and became totally entranced with this medium.

No prob bob. See what I did there? As the Hansen name is the common denominator & in Hervey it was worth asking the question. He could have been a rellie eg. A nephew?


If your one is like my blokes, he'll do.
