Antique Maritime Oil Painting – 19th-Century Sailing Yacht in Open Seas

Antique Maritime Oil Painting – 19th-Century Sailing Yacht in Open Seas

This dynamic antique oil-on-canvas painting depicts a dramatic maritime scene of a large American sailing yacht cutting through choppy waves under a billowing set of sails. The vessel flies the United States flag proudly from its rigging, while seabirds circle in the distance against a partly clouded sky. The perspective captures both the power of the ocean and the grace of the yacht in motion, a hallmark of late 19th-century marine art.

Painted on stretched canvas without a frame, the piece shows visible age-related wear, including fraying along the edges, minor punctures, and surface marks. The construction style, canvas weave, and patina suggest a late 19th-century date (circa 1870–1890), possibly commemorating a regatta or famous yacht of the period. The vessel’s name, visible on the stern, may provide clues to its specific history.

Dimensions: Approx. 20"H x 15"W 

Condition: Fair antique condition – unframed, with wear consistent with age and use, adding to its authenticity and nautical charm.

A striking maritime collectible for yachting enthusiasts, nautical decorators, or collectors of 19th-century seascapes.
