"Jamaican
Schooner" by Paul McGehee. The beautiful and sleek schooner
"Zaca" was built in 1929. The 118" vessel spent many years as a
pleasure
yacht before being taken over by the U.S. Government during World War
II to be used as a West Coast radio ship. She is credited with
communicating positions of passing Japanese ships while off of the
California coast. During the 1950's she was a private yacht under the
ownership of movie star Errol Flynn who sailed her in Caribbean waters
out of Port
Antonio, Jamaica. She fell into disrepair in the 1960's but
was recently restored, and the storied "Zaca" now sails again as a
charter yacht in the waters of Monaco. This archival-quality print is
from the original pencil drawing by McGehee, and is hand-signed and
numbered by the artist in a limited edition of only 500 pieces.
