Description
Pictured is a detail image from one of the narrow marine murals that flank the entry door of the Cornelius Tarbox House. In this departure scene bordering the doorway, it can be seen that the ship has just left its mooring, seen in the foreground. The sails are set and smoke pours from its smokestack.
The Cornelius Tarbox House, built around 1848-1850, is situated on waterfront property on the south end of Westport Island looking toward Beal Island and Georgetown.
The departure scene viewed here may well depict a departure of one of the merchant ships owned by the Tarbox family.
