Mare Nostrum latin for Our Sea (the Mediterranean and etymology of Mariner, mars, maritime...etc.

Also the European fishing trawler, The Mare Nostrum, which was built at the Spanish harbour of Arenys de Mar. It has an overall length of 15 meters, a beam of 3.5 meters with a displacement of 10 tons, powered by a 40HP diesel engine.

The model of which is currently filling an hour or two of my time after dinner and before bed and a significant part of the dining room table to my wife's chagrin.

Canuck

Well, ol’ faithful, @JimInOz figgered it out.

Julius Rosenberg = JULIUS
Girl in binoculars = SEES HER (CAESER)
Almost empty plate = ET
Antonov biplane = TU
Tea ritual = BRU
The Scottish River = TAY

Ergo, Julius Caesar Et Tu Brute

Well done James. You my hero!
