John Horton, Artist

I chose the starboard quarter view of the three-masted tern schooner because it shows the power of the vessel driving through a rough sea under a full press of canvas. These vessels were true workhorses, either transporting lumber coastwise, between ports, or across the Atlantic Ocean. On long hauls, they would stream a patent log to measure speed and distance run, so a dead reckoning position could be calculated. I have always enjoyed painting working vessels through the ages, and the hard-working terns are another fine example of how world trade was conducted.
