Cutter Yacht "Scud" of Philadelphia – Modelled by Robert L. Stevens, Esq. 1855

Charles Parsons' 1855 lithograph "Cutter Yacht 'Scud' of Philadelphia" depicts the yacht, a sailing vessel with a single mast and a large sail, as it glides through the water. The artist, a renowned maritime painter, uses a detailed style to capture the sleek lines of the ship and the texture of the water. The piece is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and offers a glimpse into the world of yachting in the mid-19th century.
