This dramatic watercolor painting by Robert Charles Dudley, titled “The Albany Buoying a Bight of the Cable of 1865 on the Night of August 26th, 1866”, depicts the steamship Albany in a nighttime seascape. The ship is shown battling rough seas, illuminated by a bright moon, which shines through the cloudy sky. This artwork, created in 1866, captures the raw energy and peril of a maritime voyage. The painting is a testament to the artistry of Dudley, who captured the scene with striking detail and emotion.
