In 1948 the D.T. Sheridan, a tugboat weighing 383 tons ran aground at the southwest tip of Monhegan Island, Maine. The rusted remains have provided inspiration for countless artists visiting the island and have been a source of many of Jamie Wyeth's works. The archaic and timeless atmosphere evoked by the hull appeals to Wyeth's distinct rendering of portraiture and life on the island. Wyeth comments that "early on, Rockwell Kent and a few others saw it, that elemental, primeval quality of Monhegan, and went beyond the picturesque."

This painting is included in the database of the artist's work being compiled by the Wyeth Center at the William A. Farnsworth Museum Rockland, Maine.
