Presented is a classic painting of four ships
returning to Liverpool, England that were damaged in a series of gales that struck in January, 1866. First in line after Pilot
Boat "8" is RMS Athenium. Next is the Barque Richard Cobden, then the Barque Lord Dufferin, and
finally the Coaster Persia. The pilot boat in the foreground is a gaff headed schooner under shortened
canvas. All the ships are heeling to leeward and shows the wind is still blowing.
The sky is bluish grey with many dark clouds. A truly breath
taking work done in the style of the 1800's. On the lower right, it is signed Jerome Howe's. A old
style wood and gilded frame is included. The condition of the painting is excellent and should be considered a
recent work done in the style of the period by a maritime artist of renowned talent.

SHIP PORTRAITS
AND SEASCAPES were a favorite subject of master painters of many nationalities and provide a lasting
remembrance of a romantic and beautiful period when sailing ships ruled the oceans. Some of the better known American painters
who recorded this period of our history were James and Thomas Butterworth, Antonio Jacobsen, Fitz Henry Lane, John
Stobart and William Stubbs to mention only a few. Jerome Howe is joining this list of dignitaries, and some of his luminescent
scenes remind one of Lane's use of light.
