Sheepshead bay party boat
Acrylic/Canvas 24X30” 1996
Weekend “fishermen” usually boarded their favorite boats anywhere from 4-8 A.M., the departure time based on how far the boat traveled out from the bay and what the catch was. You were usually back by 3P.M.ready to head home with your fish cleaned by the crew. The fish caught by the crew were displayed on the boat in rows according to size and sold to customers eagerly waiting to buy the fresh catch.
