ABOUT In early 1912, a group of Motor Boat owners members of the Boston Yacht Club whose members were predominantly sail boat skippers) realized the pressing need for some sort of education for pleasure boat owners. They formed a group which became known as the Power Squadron of the Boston yacht Club. The object was to hold a series of classes at which each member would make a presentation on the essentials of navigation, as applied to small craft owners. Word of this group spread to other Eastern ports and more boat and yacht clubs adopted the idea. finally, in 1914, at a meeting held at the New York Yacht club, the nationwide organization now known as the United States Power Squadron was founded.

David Johnson was a stalwart of the New York art world in the second half of the nineteenth century. In the fifty years between 1849 and 1899, Johnson exhibited over fifty paintings at the National Academy of Design, where he was an academician. In 1867, Johnson visited a spot above West Point on the Hudson River to paint a view that had long been a favorite of the landscape artists comprising the so-called “Hudson River School.” John Kensett had painted from the same vantage point ten years earlier, describing the area in a letter of 1854 as being “in the midst of the beautiful highlands of the Hudson, which I think for their peculiar kind of beauty there is nothing to surpass” (Kensett to his uncle, John R. Kensett, March 30, 1854, as quoted in Natalie Spassky and Kathleen Luhrs, American Paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vol 2: A Catalogue of Works by Artists Born between 1816 and 1845 [New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1985], p. 33).
