Voyage of the New Hazard | Pictorial Map by Jack Atherton | Gold leaf Frame

Pictorial Map of the brig New Hazard by the Jack Atherton

This previously unpublished pictorial map was designed by our beloved local illustrator Jack Atherton in appx 1940 and reflect the 1810 to 1813 voyage of the brig New Hazard which was built at a Newbury shipyard & registered out of Salem MA. In 1938, the Peabody Museum (now the Peabody Essex) in Salem published the ships log that was maintained by crewman Stephen Reynolds that provided a detailed account of the voyage including routes, locations, daily life on board, weather, provisions, and interactions with native peoples. 

The New Hazard was only 95 ft in length - yet travelled around the Horn to the Northwest Coast of America, Hawaii, and China with amazing adventures along the way. We assume that the inspiration of this stunning pictorial map stemmed from Jack's immersion in this volume and his keen interest in this historical maritime narrative.

When this illustration was discovered - it was absent of color and unfinished. Jack's son, Steve Atherton, committed to colorizing and completing this beautiful map, in the spirit of his Dad's earlier works, as well as also reading the ships logbook to verify the accuracy of noted

This striking giclee print was produced on elegant and period authentic Hahnemühle FineArt paper and framed in a period authentic black & gold leaf frame.
