The painting depicts Nat Herreshoff’s great racing schooner Ingomar racing the schooner Elmina off Great Captain Island during the Larchmont Race week 1907 at her helm is the redoubtable Charlie Barr the successful skipper of three Americas’s Cup campaigns.
Ingomar was built of the wealthy financier Morton F Plant and was the first of Nat Herreshoff’s 9 great steel hulled racing schooners which included, Queen, Westward, Elena and others. She was built alongside Reliance in 1903 and joined her on the New York Yacht Clubs annual cruise of that year as Reliance tunned up to Defend the America’s Cup against Shamrock 111.
In 1904 with Capt Charlie Barr at the helm and a crew of veterans from Reliance she crossed the Atlantic to race the cream of the British yachting fleet at Cowes before crossing to compete in the German regattas at Keil where with Capt Barr at the helm she famously forced the German Kaiser racing on his schooner Meteor to give way.
Ingomar returned home after a very successful campaign winning 12 firsts, 4 seconds 1 third and 2 challenge cups in her 24 races.
Due to changes in rating laws Ingomar was not raced again until the season of 1907 when with Charlie Barr again at her helm she enjoyed some great racing with the schooners Elmina and Ingomar’s successor from Nat Herreshoff the schooner Queen.

Nicholas Berger Biography
American, b. 1949
In his more than three decades as an artist, Nicholas Berger (b. 1949) has created an outstanding body of work that continues to evolve and excite viewers. Best known for his industrial, waterfront scenes of New York between 1930-1970, Berger effortlessly captures a period when the technology and landscape of the city was rapidly changing. Although he paints scenes of a bygone era, Berger draws inspiration from the waterfronts near his home in New York’s Hudson River Highlands as well as historical sources in museums. Berger holds BFA and MFA degrees from Alfred University.
Earlier in his career, the artist painted representational landscapes rendered in watercolor, a medium in which he achieved great success, sharing a sellout two-person show in Tokyo with Andrew Wyeth. In the mid-2000s, Berger transitioned to his signature industrial scenes of the city, employing oil on panel in a painterly manner influenced by the Hudson River and Brandywine schools...

Rigby, "Navajoe and Britannia Brent Reef Challenge Cup", 40x60 Boat Oil Painting
By Adrian Rigby
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
Yachts Navajoe and Britannia both were constructed at the end of the 1800s, commissioned by UK royalty. This painting depicts a neck-and-neck race between the two giants off the coast of Dover, England. Sailors in their white and blue uniforms can be seen on the deck of each boat. They are tying ropes down or steering the rudder, trying to get the upper hand on their opponent's vessel. This highly detailed painting has a regal presence and would make a great addition to any maritime collection.
