Kenneth King (artist)

[1] King's studio, Straid Studio-Gallery, was in Glencolmcille in County Donegal, Ireland.

King specialised in depicting the naval and merchant shipping of Ireland, as well as seascapes of the country's coastline and lighthouses.

The National Maritime Museum of Ireland has paintings by King, of all but one the Irish ships lost during World War II.

The Maritime Institute of Ireland acquired some of the paintings; they concentrated on ships lost during World War II.

The collection lacks one image: the Naomh Garbhan which hit a mine off the Waterford coast and sank with the loss of three lives on 2 May 1945.
