The matte measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/2"; the artwork alone is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". The lower matte is marked by the artist name Wenday and titled Safe In Port. The print is fine, the matte has some minor wear and the bottom edge has some roughness - see detailed photos. The schooner Eva S. Cullison was built in 1888 in Baltimore, MD and was used at the time for the Bahama fruit trade. She was owned by John Aaron Jackson and was used in the Chesapeake Bay to fish oysters. Eventully the Eva S. Cullison ended up in Captain Swift's Windjammer fleet in Penobscot Bay in Maine sometime in the late 1940's. Capt. Swift considered her to be among the best sailors in his fleet. According to the information I found, "Her sails had exceptionally deep reefs. The club of that big jib was sheeted to a traveller across the the foredeck and things could get pretty wild there when coming about."The Eva S. Cullison was taken out of service after the 1952 or 1953 season and was placed in her berth in Camden after 1954. It was here in that famous artist Andrew Wyeth painted her.Sometime after she was retired from the Windjammer Fleet, the Eva S. Cullison was sold to an amusement park where she was used as a pirate ship themed attraction. After that, she was nothing more than a dying hulk off Cape Ann Massachusetts. The Maritime Museum in Mystic Connecticut had plans to restore the schooner if a sponsor could be found. Sadly, the Eva S. Cullison was never restored and was eventually dismantled.
