Racing Schooner Closeup

“Racing Schooner Closeup” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory bark by David Smith. One can feel the speed of this handsome vessel. You can see the captain at the helm, probably barking orders to his well trained crewmen. Smith really takes you right into the action with this one. Note the angle of the ends of the ivory matching the shape of the base. Nicely done.
