SUMMER 1995

COVER ILLUSTRATION Duncan McFarlane ( 1818-1865) Packet John Elliot Thayer arriving off Prince's Dock, Liverpool, 1857, 30" by 45" Though of classic format and proportions, this highly detailed ship portrait differs from most of those of the Liverpool marine school in one important respect: rather than presenting the same ship in three different positions, the artist here depicts three different ships. The central ship, John Elliot Thayer, is flanked by the Parliament to the left and by the Daniel Webster to the right. All three ships sailed the Boston-to-Liverpool run for Enoch Train's White Diamond Line. The painting is featured in the exhibition Across the Western Ocean: Arnerican Ships by Liverpool Artists.
