Maritime Art
Images: Norwegian Krysser
A Norwegian Krysser is reflected in the waters of Norway’s Tromso harbor. The traditional herring and cod boats, which developed out of the Skoyte and Kutter, are still used for fishing, and as tour boats or personal craft.
Dorade
The 52-foot racing yacht Dorade careens in a very stiff following wind on her way to a record performance in the 1931 Transatlantic Race, with the spinnaker sheet led to windward of the forestay and eased out.
Images: Hurricane Michael
When Hurricane Michael hit the Florida Panhandle with 150-plus mph winds, a boat warehouse near Panama City collapsed like a house of cards.
After The Hurricane
The storm clouds and a veil of rain move off over dark water, taking the violence of the tropical hurricane with them.
First Trap
It’s well before dawn in Maine, and 15 miles offshore, in the early morning murk, a Jonesport lobster boat is getting ready to go to work.
Rescuers from the Deep; USS Scamp
Don Demers’ oil painting “Rescuers from the Deep; USS Scamp” tells a dramatic tale.
Drifters
Wind and waves set a double-ended, lug-rigged fishing boat to plunging through the white-capped rollers off the coast of northern England and Scotland.
Watch Hill Harbor from the Lawn
Anyone who’s driven down into the town of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, and along the stretch of harborfront knows the scene.
Charles W. Morgan Off Cape Horn
The wave in the foreground dominates the scene in Paul Garnett’s dramatic Charles W. Morgan Off Cape Horn.
Neck and Neck
They were known to the British as the “Big Class.” The America’s Cup boats of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were unruly — sometimes downright perilous — racing machines.
Brant Point Light
Nantucket Harbor, Massachusetts. We’re looking across the main channel toward Brant Point Light; the Coatue Wildlife Refuge is behind and to the right of this iconic island symbol, with Wauwinet in the distance.
