Footnote
Note: On 20 October 2013, Childish launched a 31 strong fleet of CTMF Dazzle Ship constructions on the North Kent coast into the Thames Estuary, calling the project 'MISSION TO INVADE'. Each ship carried the cargo of one green vinyl 45 by CTMF, Childish's band at the time, that also acted as it's guiding keel.
Childish then went on to produce a limited edition of three 'connoiseur's collection' artist's proof dazzle ships, of which this is one.
