Antonio Godoy, active from 1940s - 1970s, worked and exhibited in the port of Santos, Brazil, where he developed a special kinship with ship captains, officers and seamen and through them with many passengers from cruise ships and freighters.  Seamen would visit the ABC Bar - a shipman's bar in Santos - where they could admire and purchase the artist's works.  They sometimes brought passengers from the ships who also got a chance to meet the artist since Godoy was often there.  Here are some quotes from former Merchant Seaman Jack Franco:
