- Brief Description:
- Oil painting of the whaling ship Diana in an ice dock, by the artist James Wheldon (1832-1893) about 1870, in a black frame. The Diana is in the foreground with her sails wrapped up. A canoe with two sailors are tied up to the ship behind her on the right. Eight birds fly across the central foreground and a single step ladder is attached to her bow with three sailors on the icy ridge with one sailor holding a rope that is connected to the ship. The left hand side of the foreground depicts the ice ground with orange hues and ice caps. The low horizon level illustrates a cloudy sky with orange hues against a blue sky.
