The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich is raising funds to restore the Solebay Tapestry. The wall hanging, commissioned by King Charles II and dated to c.1672, was designed by artist Willem Van de Velde. The museum is hoping to raise £15,000 for the project which will hopefully be completed in time for the museum's 2023 exhibition on the Van de Veldes (!)
