One Veteran Salutes Another

Richard Welling, best known for his distinctive ink drawings that documented Hartford’s changing skyline from the 1960s into the new century, had a special fondness and appreciation for vehicles, be they trains (noted in a previous blog), automobiles, aircraft or, in this instance, vessels of all shapes and sizes. While we are currently busy preparing for an exhibition focusing on his Hartford scenes, I had a chance to look through some of his maritime material and came across images of the SS John W. Brown.
