| A recent work depicting the whaler bark WANDERER, August 1924 drying her sails in New Bedford harbor. Distinguished by her eagle figurehead, the WANDERER was launched in 1878, just as cheap petroleum was sending whaling into decline. She left New Bedford August 25, 1924, the last square rigged whaler to sail from New Bedford, foundering the next day on Cuttyhunk Island during a Nor'easter that swept the Atlantic Coast. Tooth is 7-inch & 16.5-ounce. |

| This newly commissioned scrimwork depicts the Yankee clipper ship Lightening being towed out of Boston Harbor on her maiden voyage of February 18, 1854.
On that voyage to Liverpool England, the Lightning set a crossing record of 13-days, 19.5-hours, which was never equaled by any commercial sailing vessel. Tooth is 17-ounce & 6.5-inches x 2.75-inches |
