Sailor's Woolworks
Sailor's woolworks is a general term for decorative needlework pictures that in most cases show a specific ship or a generalised (sailing) ship. They have the nickname 'woolies'. Some of the sailor's woolworks are embroidered, others are made from appliqué cloth. Seamen produced such pictures from about the 1830's until the First World War (1914-1918).
