Item Description

Numbered and framed and matted Jim Clary print depicting the race between two steamboats, aka The Race between Two Centuries.  In 1898, the Cleveland ship, The City of Erie, raced against the 1901, The Tashmoo, the new flagship of the Detroit White Star line.  Although the race was very close, the City of Erie won at the end.  The owners of the City of Erie refused a rematch tactly admitting the Tashmoo was the fastest boat. 

Marine artist, author and historian, James Clary's dedication to detail and accuracy has earned him to be chosen as expedition historian and artist for the 1983 Titanic search.  Jim Clary has realized his boyhood dream of bringing ghost ships to life through art.  A man who thrives on art and the notion that others will enjoy and learn from his work for years to come.
