Item Description

A one of a kind - the artist’s proofs (first few prints off the press) of your “Around and About Chappaquiddick” map. This will come in a protective frame so you can frame it to fit in your home. It measures 22" x 28". It is a must for those who love Chappy!

First edition of one of Dana’s most beloved prints. Dana combines his love of the sea and all things nautical with a distinctive style to create images which are decorative in design, exacting in detail, and often embellished with informative historical text. 


Dana Gaines was born and raised on Martha's Vineyard, where he developed a keen appreciation for the sea and all things nautical. He attended island schools and graduated from Williams College with a degree in Fine Art and secondary concentration in History, including a semester of Maritime Studies at Mystic Seaport. An accomplished oarsman and paddler, he often ventures offshore to capture a unique "mariner's-eye-view" of his subjects.



Dana uses a combination of pen line, watercolor and airbrush to achieve an exquisite level of detail in his renderings. Informational text is often interwoven with the composition to enhance the viewer's understanding and appreciation for the subject matter - be it ships, lighthouses, maps, architecture, or natural history.


In addition to his own published work, Dana has produced hundreds of commissioned architectural portraits and scores of posters, illustrations, and jigsaw puzzle designs.
