Description: SSV Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island’s official sailing vessel Sailing by the Beavertail Lighthouse Home Port: Fort Adams Newport, RI SSV Oliver Hazard Perry Art Print is from an original watercolor painting on a nautical chart by the Artist, William B. MacGregor Jr., who is known in the New England area as the Junkyard Artist. (Nautical Chart Background-Narragansett Bay, RI) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SSV Oliver Hazard Perry is named after RI naval hero from the battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. The ship is Rhode Island’s official sailing vessel and a good will ambassador for RI. She is the largest privately owned tall ship and civilian training ship in the USA. Launched in 2015, the Oliver Hazard Perry is the first ocean going full rigged ship built in the United States in over 100 years. The ship was originally built but unfinished in Canada before she was purchased by Rhode Island for $325,000 . At that time she was only a 138 foot steel hull. The Canadians had intended the ship to be a replica of the 20-gun British ship HMS Detroit. The HMS Detroit was one of the ships Perry captured on Lake Erie in 1813. After arriving in RI, she was completed by Senesco Marine shipyard , the Hinkley Company and Newport shipyard, RI. The Oliver Hazard Perry is fully equipped with 21st-century technology, for example twin six-cylinder Caterpillar backup engines. On July 16, 2015, the Oliver Hazard Perry sailed for the first time on a voyage to Portland, ME and New London , CT. Since then, she has made voyages around New England, Bermuda and the Caribbean, including Cuba. Beaver tail Lighthouse was built in 1856 and marks the entrance to Narragansett Bay. The 64-foot lighthouse in Beavertail State Park is located on the southernmost point of Conanicut Island , Jamestown, Rhode Island ------------------------------------------------------------ Nautical chart art print of the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry sailing by the Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown Free shipping (USA only) Art Print Art print is printed on Canson Fine Art-Photo Rag Paper or equivalent.

MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May, 2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA
