Summary
Enoch Dean, Hudson River steamboat built 1852, later served in American Civil War, sank in 1865, at entrance to St. Catherine's Sound, south of Savannah, Georgia, while transporting freed slaves and their farming equipment.
Born in New York City, eight years after Robert Fulton sent the first steamboat up the Hudson River, James Bard saw and reflected in his marine paintings the industrial development of shipping in America. He and his twin brother John Bard together painted more than 350 marine portraits, steamships and sailboats in the New York Harbor and on the Hudson River. Likely James did the outline sketches, and John filled in the color and backgrounds.
