THE ARTIST: Luca Papaluca, 1890 – 1934, was a
Pierhead Painter from Naples, who primarily painted in gouaches and water colors on paper which mainly show sailing ships,
steamers and yachts on their visits to the Bay of Naples. He also painted historical subjects to a lesser extent. Sometimes,
he painted a pictures showing the vessel in calm conditions and another of the same vessel in stormy weather. On rare occasions
he is known to have painted in oil. His work should not be confused with his son who migrated to the America and was working
as late as the 1960. The son did mostly seascapes and naval historical scenes of lesser quality.

CLIPPER SHIP ARGUS: Little is known of the
Argus, but she advertised her fast sailing abilities on cards to attract passenger as a “fast-sailing British Bark”.
One such card says she was sailing under as a “Neutral Flag for Marseilles.” This is important because she sailed
during the American Civil War, probably carrying goods and passengers to France, under French Registry, and neutrality and
speed would both contribute to an uninterrupted voyage.
