Note du spécialiste
There is an etching by Gleason of the same composition, titled 'In Southern Seas', included in Gleason's Windjammers, published in 1922.
In the 1890s John Arbuckle invented a system for automatically filling and sealing sugar bags. When jealous competitors blocked him from shipping his sugar, Arbuckle responded by buying his own ships which developed into one of the largest commercial sailing fleets in the world.
