Artist, Lee Baker has created five huge murals which depicts the true life journey of William Adams.  Following him from his humble beginnings in the Thames Gateway, to work in the navy with Sir Francis Drake, becoming an honoured Samurai in Japan and the first Briton ever to set foot in that country. The artwork is made up of 4600 self-portraits, created by the Students of 25 Southend schools.

The Thames to Tama project is now well underway. We have been sorting through all the beautiful, creative and lively portraits painted and created by pupils of schools across the borough of Southend-On-Sea. Despite the scale of the project we are on schedule and we will be installing Thames to Tama on Wednesday 2^nd ready for the launch on the 2^nd of March.
