The Adventures of Tintin at Sea

From his first appearance in 1929, the globe-trotting Tintin took to boats in his pursuit of adventure. Motor-launches and liners, cargo vessels and historic ships of the line: each is meticulously depicted by Herge. A new dimension punctuated with a staggering repertoire of salty swear words "billions of blistering barnacles!" came in 1940 with the introduction of Captain Haddock. This is a history and a look at the sources that Herge used to create his characters and maritime environments. Sponsored by the National Maritime Museum.
