• DESCRIPTION: This lithograph depicts the pilot boat Gypsey battling heavy seas, beating to windward through a gale to meet an incoming vessel. Clement Drew, known for his coastal and maritime paintings, often portrayed ships under difficult conditions, emphasizing both seamanship and the power of the sea. The image captures the tension and skill required of pilots who guided larger vessels safely to harbor. Lithographed by A. Weingartner in New York, this work reflects the strong 19th-century American interest in maritime subjects and the respect held for pilot crews along the Atlantic coast.
