About this work

A hand-colored lithograph shows the U.S. steam frigate Mississippi heeling into heavy seas in the Gulf of Mexico, with its paddle wheel churning white water and smoke rising from its funnel. The ship's masts and rigging are drawn in fine detail, and an American flag flies from its stern. The print is titled U.S. Steam Frigate Mississippi, in the Gulf of Mexico, March 1847, and was published by Currier & Ives in 1848.
