uscgc jackson by dick levesque
Loss of the USCGC Jackson 1944 - acrylic - 14x18 - (16x20 print available)

On September 14, 1944 during a massive hurricane, the CGC Jackson & Bedloe were sunk with the loss of 47 crew. Both vessels were escorting the Liberty ship George Ade which had been torpedoed by U518 and in tow by the Navy vessel ATR-6 off of Cape Hatteras NC. The same hurricane sent the Coast Guard Lighship Vineyard Shoals to the bottom with all hands.
This is my rendition, as recalled by survivors, just moments before the Jackson foundered. Check out Mr. Galecki's book in gallery 1.

clipper ship marine art by Dick Levesque
Latitude 38 South - acrylic on an old British Admiralty chart PRIVATE COLLECTION

This is of a Clipper Ship off the coast of Australia.  It was done on a British Admiralty chart that a friend of ours had.  He had just completed a single-handed voyage through the Western Pacific aboard his Rawson 30 ft sloop.  If you look closely, you can still see some of his penciled course lines.
On the framed original,  the leaded glass was salvaged from the galley area of a partially submerged fishing boat on the Petaluma (CA) River.  The frame was made from kiln dried Tennessee Cherry Wood.

Sailboat sketch by Dick Levesque
Cabo bound - Pencil (private collection) ARTISTS COLLECTION

This is of a double ended 30 foot ketch that my wife and I lived aboard for many months.  She was built in the 1940's at Mare Island California for service in WWII.  She saw no combat and was sold shortly after the wars end.  Sometime in the 1950's she was converted to a pleasure craft.  We spent many moments aboard dreaming of the day that we could finally be "Cabo Bound" aboard IAORANA III.
