Maritime Art

[Jchoby]

Does anybody know of a good source for prints/art work of some of the more popular wrecks in the great lakes...images of the ships in their prime...before they were wrecks? I think it would be nice to have some prints of some of the ships I have an opportunity to dive on.

Cheers

JC

Hello JC there is a very well known Maritime artist from Windsor Ontario named Peter Rindlisbacher who does beautiful paintings. All of his work I have seen are of early great lakes sailing ships. He is also famous for his war of 1812 depictions featuring sailing vessels.

Mr. Rindlisbacher was a presenter at the Sandusky shipwreck show and his work is outstanding. And try Paul C. LaMarre Jr.
There are also many cool prints for sale at the Shipwreck Museum in Whitefish Point.

If you're just looking for historic photos you can't beat the Historical Collections of the Great Lakes, Great Lakes Vessels Online Image Database. It's a wonderful resource.
