About Glyn L Evans

Glyn L Evans was born in Birkenhead and began his career in Liverpool in 1961 as a marine cargo insurance underwriter. Over a period of forty-one years he moved through promotion, resignation, re-instatement and recruitment to Manchester, Reading, London, Redhill, Bristol and Birmingham, becoming along the way an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute, a Chartered Insurance Practitioner and a Member of the Institute of Export. At some point during and after that, Glyn worked for an estate agent, a graphic design company, and an art gallery.

Growing up on the banks of the River Mersey, Glyn developed a life-long interest in ships, being a keen ship photographer at one stage and collector of ships’ postcards. Time is now taken up with writing on marine subjects for various publications including the Liverpool Research Society and the Seven Seas Club, being a member of both organisations. He is an Ambassador to the Wellington Trust and Chairman of the Friends of the Wellington. Glyn’s three published books to date are ‘The Maritime Art of Kenneth D Shoesmith,’ ‘Dazzle-Painted Ships of World War I’ and ‘CARGOES – A Celebration of the Sea.’
