Notes:

This painting is the third in a series of three works showing the perils of fishing life (see 'Departure of the Fleet'). On the wall of the Post Office is a list of all the men who have been lost at sea. This scene is still one that is all too frequent amidst fishing communities today. Incidentally, the paintings were completed in reverse, with 'Among the Missing' being produced two years before 'Departure of the Fleet'.
