Note: The Danmark was launched in 1933 from the Nakskov Shipworks in Denmark to serve as a training ship for the Danish merchant navy. After 88 years in service, the steel-hulled, three-masted full-rigged ship continues to function as a training vessel for young people seeking careers at sea. The vessel has visited the USA on several occasions, especially the East Coast. The longest visit was from 1939 to 1945 during World War II when the training ship served under The Stars and Stripes. During World War II, Denmark became occupied on April 9, 1940, while the Danmark was on a routine mission in U.S. waters. In agreement with the Danish Ambassador to the United States, the ship's captain, Knud L. Hansen, placed his training ship at the disposal of the U.S. Government. However, U.S. neutrality prevented the acceptance of the offer until December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked. From that point onward, and until the end of World War II, some 2,500 U.S. officer cadets received first-class training in responsible seamanship under Captain Hansen's capable leadership and strict discipline. Later, the cadets would serve in the U.S. Navy. Source: South Street Seaport Museum.

      Est: $1,000 - $1,200

      Earl Edward Collins (Connecticut/New York, 1925-1992) oil on canvas maritime painting depicting the clipper ship "Lightning" sailing across tumultuous waters, an American flag flying from the stern, and figures standing on the sail. Signed and titled lower right. Housed in a grey wood frame with a linen mat. Sight: 19 3/4" H x 23 1/2" W. Framed: 26 1/4" H x 30 1/2" W. Note: Built by Donald McKay, the Lightning was the first clipper built in the United States for a British firm. In 1862, while returning to Liverpool, it struck an uncharted rock. No water entered the vessel but, on arrival at Liverpool, a rock 6 feet long was found sticking through its timbers and beginning to work loose. Under Capt. 'Bully' Forbes, the Lightning made its first voyage to Australia in 77 days, and on its return voyage made it in a record 64 days. It had the distinction of carrying, free of charge, early consignments of introduced animals, including rabbits, sent to Thomas Austin of Barwon Park, Winchelsea. The Lightning's entire life was spent on the Australian run carrying immigrants and cargo. The wreck of the Lightning caused by the fire was the worst shipping calamity in local history. A fire that had broken out was discovered at about 1 am. Water was pumped into lower hold in an attempt to douse it but the efforts of local volunteer fire brigades were unsuccessful. The blazing ship was towed away from the Yarra Street Wharf by James Deane's tug Resolute. Attempts to scuttle the vessel by boring holes and cutting the outside planking also failed. The Volunteer Artillery had also been unsuccessful in attempts to sink the vessel to put out the fire. The wreck was finally removed with explosives. The Lightning finally sank at about 6 pm., her location about 200 yards from Wharf in 25 feet of water in the town of Geelong, Australia.

Housed in a metallic silver wooden frame with off white linen liner and metallic silver wood fillet. Sight: 19 1/2" H x 23 1/2" W. Framed: 25 1/2" H x 29 1/2" W. Note: "Built by Donald McKay, the Lightning was the first clipper built in the United States for a British firm. In 1862, returning to Liverpool, it struck an uncharted rock in Rip. No water entered the vessel but, on arrival at Liverpool, a rock 6 feet long was found sticking through its timbers and beginning to work loose. Under Capt. 'Bully' Forbes, the Lightning made its first voyage to Australia in 77 days, and on its return voyage made it in a record 64 days. It had the distinction of carrying, free of charge, early consignments of introduced animals, including rabbits, sent to Thomas Austin of Barwon Park, Winchelsea. The Lightning's entire life was spent on the Australian run carrying immigrants and cargo. The wreck of the Lightning caused by the fire was the worst shipping calamity in Geelong's history. A fire that had broken out was discovered at about 1 am. Water was pumped into lower hold in an attempt to douse it but the efforts of local volunteer fire brigades were unsuccessful. The blazing ship was towed away from the Yarra Street Wharf by James Deane's tug Resolute. Attempts to scuttle the vessel by boring holes and cutting the outside planking also failed. The Volunteer Artillery had also been unsuccessful in attempts to sink the vessel to put out the fire. The wreck was finally removed with explosives. The Lightning finally sank at about 6 pm., her location about 200 yards from Wharf in 25 feet of water. Geelong's Centenary celebrations included a re-enactment of burning of Lightning."

      Earl E. Collins O/C Marine Painting, Charles W. Morgan

      Est: $1,000 - $1,200

      Earl Edward Collins (Connecticut/New York, 1925-1992) oil on canvas maritime painting "Charles W. Morgan" depicting the whaling ship named for owner Charles Waln Morgan (1796-1861), anchored at sea with an American flag, and several male figures boarding a small boat to pursue a whale visible in the water to the left. Titled and signed "Earl Collins" lower right. Housed in a wooden frame with off white liner and wooden fillet. Sight: 19 3/4" H x 23 1/2" W. Framed: 27 3/4" H x 31 3/4" W. Note: "The Charles W. Morgan is the last of an American whaling fleet that numbered more than 2,700 vessels. Built and launched in 1841, the Morgan is now America's oldest commercial ship still afloat--only the USS Constitution is older. The Morgan was launched on July 21, 1841, from the yard of Jethro and Zachariah Hillman in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Over an 80-year whaling career, the Morgan embarked on 37 voyages with most lasting three years or more. Built for durability, not speed, it roamed every corner of the globe in pursuit of whales. The Morgan is known as a "lucky ship," having successfully navigated crushing Arctic ice, countless storms, Cape Horn roundings and, after finishing its whaling career, even the Hurricane of 1938. After its whaling days ended in 1921, the Morgan was preserved by Whaling Enshrined, Inc. and exhibited at Edward H.R. Green's estate at Round Hill in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, until 1941. In November of that year, the Morgan came to Mystic Seaport Museum where it has since dominated the waterfront at Chubb's Wharf." (source: "Charles W. Morgan" Mystic Seasport Museum, 2021: https://www.mysticseaport.org/explore/morgan/).
