This article previously was empty. I put in some minimal data from Google search. This was to allow cross reference from article about William Anderson. I edited this to include reference to painting of fishing vessels in Thames Estuary. I did this for cross reference from article about Leigh-on-Sea. I have been editing that as one of some starting points for experiments with Wikipedia. These are intended, in part, to find patterns of outreach from article on topic of primary interest to other articles. The hope is that these can be systematized, to allow bulk improvement, perhaps by students being trained to work with WP. Michael P. Barnett (talk) 02:36, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
