The American Ship Molocka in the North Sea off Helgaland
Title
The American Ship Molocka in the North Sea off Helgaland
Description
Like other sailing vessels of the time, the Maine-built Molocka flew a Masonic pennant in port. This banner invited Masons to come aboard to socialize or for business. Peter Grant Bradstreet (ca. 1822-1889) of Gardiner, Maine, the owner and builder of the Molocka, may have commissioned this painting. It was completed during a voyage to Europe the same year Bradstreet joined Hermon Lodge No. 32 in Gardiner, Maine.
