While many associate Marine Art solely with vessels on the salty seas -- today's Marine Artists have turned their talents to observing and capturing the diversity of vessels and activities that have populated the thousands of miles of rivers feeding into the ocean. In the 19th century, steamboats connected communities on the rivers of America bringing vital commerce and news on a regular schedule. Artist Robert Sticker really gives us an intimate feel of what life along the river would have been like at that time.
