Framed, 19thC, unsigned o/c "Francis Skiddy" ship portrait. C-1859. A great rendition of a steamboat that operated on the Hudson River first as a "Day Boat" and then as a "Night Boat." It ran aground and sank at Staatsburg, NY. According to the article, "Famous Hudson River Steamboats," "Up to 1851 no boat ever created such a sensation on the river as the "Francis Skiddy," and when she made her appearance was acclaimed as the finest steamer ever placed in the service. After running as a day-boat for four years she was converted into a night boat, and went on the Troy Line with the "Rip Van Winkle" and "Commodore," later on running with the "Hendrick Hudson" and the "Vanderbilt." The "Skiddy" was sunk near Staatsburg in November, 1864, and her engine was afterward put in the famous "Dean Richmond," built the following year, where it remained in service until the "Richmond" was broken up in 1908. This engine thus had a record of fifty-seven years continuous service, and with the engine of the old "Norwich" and the ferry-boat "Geo. H. Power" of Hudson, holds the record for the Hudson River." . 21.5" x 35.5" sight, 22" x 36" canvas
