Civil War at Sea

The show was in Autumn, 2007 at
Skipjack Nautical Wares & Marine Gallery
in Portsmouth, VA, not far from the site of the famous battle of
the ironclads Monitor and Merrimack (sometimes called Virginia.)

Note: Skipjack Nautical Wares was tragically destroyed by a fire
in December, 2007, three weeks after this exhibition closed.
Some of the paintings were lost or damaged.
