The Battle of Hampton Roads
// Gurney Journey
In recognition of this day for remembering people who died in war, I offer my painting "Sinking of the Cumberland" from the American Civil War.
I painted the image for National Geographic after reading many first hand accounts of the Battle of Hampton Roads, studying ship plans, and sketching artifacts remaining from the event.
The original painting currently hangs at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, where it's on long-term loan.
Read about the making of the painting at the previous post Sinking of the Cumberland
