He relocated to New York City in 1897 and maintained a studio at 155 W. 29th Street, New York from 1907 to 1917. During this period he visited Gloucester and Rockport, Massachusetts to paint harbor and marine scenes on Cape Ann.

He is considered as one of the founding members and Dean of the Rockport School of Artists A. T. Hibbard, W. Lester Stevens, Frederick Mulhaupt, Paul Cornoyer, Hugh Henry Breckenridge and others. During his years in Rockport he frequently traveled to the coastal fishing villages of France, Venice and Chiogga, Italy and North Africa to sketch and paint. Vincent is best known for his bold impressionistic marine, harbor and waterfront scenes; especially interested in the themes of the commonplace in the working harbor---unloading fish, drying sales, boats and watermen at work. He befriended many fishermen and they often took him out to sea so he could study their work, boats, and harbor closely. Harry A. Vincent was elected as an Associate Member of the National Academy of Design, (ANA), Allied Artists of America, New York Watercolor Club, North Shore Art Association, Rockport Art Association, and Salmagundi Club. He regularly exhibited at the National Academy of Design, Salmagundi Club, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, New York Watercolor Club, and elsewhere. His works were awarded prizes at numerous exhibitions. He is listed in Who Was Who in American Art, 1564-1975, edited by Peter Falk, Artists of the Rockport Art Association, Fielding, Benezit, Millet and other art references. The hardcover book Harry A.
