Halmyre Street - Blameless
THE DESIGN COLLECTIVELY CREATED BY BLAMELESS IS A LARGE REWORKING OF THE LEITH PERSEVERE CREST, AND DEPICTS A SHIP SAILING ACROSS A NARRATIVE STREWN STRIPED SEA.
THE SHIP IN THE MURAL IS BASED ON THE SS EXPLORER, THE LAST STEAM SHIP TO BE REGISTERED TO LEITH AND WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING RESTORATION BY A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS. A NEWHAVEN FISHWIFE’S SONG ‘WHA’L BUY MY CALLER HERRIN” DIPS BENEATH THE WAVES.UNEXPLODED MINES (WHICH ARE STILL PRESENT IN THE FORTH TODAY) LOOM MENACINGLY WHILE A PRAM (WHICH REFERS TO THE STORY OF WILLY MERRILEES, A BELOW-STATURE POLICEMAN WHO ONCE DISGUISED HIMSELF AS A BABY TO CATCH A CRIMINAL) BOBS AWAY ON THE TIDE.
