A portrait showing the schooner ‘Robert Ingle Carter’ in broadside view. She is under full sail in a lively sea and waves can be seen breaking over her deck. She was launched from J. M. Brooks’s yard at East Boston Mass in 1891. Her managing owner was Gardiner B. Reynolds and her first Master Miron B. Peak of the Cape Cod town of Barnstaple, Massachusetts. Reynolds was the chief coal merchant in Newport, Rhode Island where the vessel was registered and a pillar of the local Presbyterian church. He had a substantial fleet of eight, three and five four-master ships known as the ‘Reynolds Line’, all built between 1886 and 1891. Altogether the ‘Robert Ingle Carter’ had 41 owners, about half of whom came from Newport or nearby Middletown.
The artist was born in Boston and lived and worked in Charlestown, Massachusetts. As a painter he was often seen sailing round Boston harbour in a small boat, taking measurements of vessels for his work. In addition to traditional oil paintings he also produced ship portraits with embroidery and silk painted backgrounds.
