About this work

Thomas Birch's New York Harbor (1827) shows a choppy harbor with a square-rigged ship and a schooner flying an American flag in the foreground, while small rowboats and a sailboat move across the water. A round stone fort and a distant city skyline with church spires and masts line the far shore under a pale, cloud-filled sky.
