Nautical became fascinated with scrimshaw after finding his great-grandfather's whale tooth carved during an 1890s Pacific voyage. He studied the whalers' art - fine lines scratched into bone or ivory, filled with ink or soot. His illustrations capture that delicate engraving on curved pale surfaces, with the patient linework of sailors at sea.
