16" x 20" oil

The scene of Stage Harbor, Chatham, Massachusetts showing the arrival of on of the several schooners which hailed from there, is a scene which took place in hundreds of small New England ports during the 19th century. The trip may have been to New York, taking salted fish and fish oil to the city and returning with flour, cornmeal, perhaps some lead, canvas and cloth and various sundries.
