American Whaler 

"American Whaler" is a chromolithograph by the renowned printmakers Currier and Ives. The print depicts a majestic sailing ship, likely a whaling vessel, navigating the open ocean. An American flag flies proudly from the mast, suggesting a sense of national pride and maritime prowess. The image captures a moment of intense action with the ship maneuvering near a breaching whale, a common theme in Currier and Ives's depictions of American whaling. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history of whaling in the United States and the enduring appeal of seafaring adventures.
