Description
Pictured is a detail of the mural seen along the staircase in the Cornelius Tarbox, Jr. house. A prominently placed schooner sails to the left; the sailors on deck are seen merely as black dots.

Cornelius Tarbox, Jr. (1785-1858) was a farmer and merchant mariner, with shares in various trading vessels made in nearby shipyards.
