The rough Newport Rhode Island rocks on the coast of the Atlantic ocean was the setting for this fabulous portrait depicting the grandeur of our man of adventure in an heroic setting.
From this point he has gone off to rescue a ship load of beautiful maidens who were shipwrecked on Nantucket. Having been found in a pub and quite soused our man took them into protective custody and saved them from the advances of the natives.
Always a man of integrity, our hero will never admit to the stories oh his having romanced all of them aboard his vessel before sailing into New Bedford harbor and landing at the dock to the accompaniment of cheers and hoorahs from throngs of eager onlookers.
Much to their grief, he, a humble man stoically said farewell to the damsels and insisted that he could no longer stay with them as he was needed elsewhere.
And so our story goes...
