So, I just made an interesting discovery, the Ship that is our community logo, isn't the Essex at all.
So, I just made an interesting discovery, the Ship that is our community logo, isn't the Essex at all. It is the whaling ship Wanderer an entirely different shipwreck.
The original image: http://www.ship-paintings.com/ship-paintings/whaling_ship_wanderer.htm
The shipwreck is the third one on the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttyhunk_Island#Notable_shipwrecks
Here is the page on the Whaling ship Essex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_(whaleship) there is a sketch near the bottom of the page.

ReplyDeleteAlways wondered why I couldn't match that image. Keyword Essex stears you wrong.
ReplyDeleteI still like the picture. ;-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps this picture will be more accurate and still inline with the oils theme of the current community logo:
