Currier's work is a powerful visual representation of a pivotal moment in American naval history, and it captures the drama and intensity of the fight between the two ships. This work is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcasing the importance of this battle and its enduring place in American history.
