The Schooner Progress Wrecked at Coney Island, July 4, 1874
Francis A. Silva was inspired by New England and its seascapes. Ships, rocky coasts and lighthouses served as metaphor for post–Civil War themes and later, human resiliency and the building of a new America. The Schooner Progress Wrecked at Coney Island, July 4, 1874 hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
