Captain Pike, Dean Cornwell (1892-1960)
I'm in love with this dramatic painting of a ship's officer facing Age of Sail-era justice, which was sent to me by @habemuscarnificem. After much searching online, and seeing this credited as an illustration for every maritime story from Treasure Island to Moby-Dick (neither of which involve anyone being hanged from the yardarm), I came across the painting's title, Captain Pike. However, I'm having a hard time finding out who Captain Pike was, or whether he was a real or fictional sea captain. Age of Sail Tumblr, can you help me out?
@ltwilliammowett
@clove-pinks
@benjhawkins
@ anybody else who knows their boat stories
Thank you so much! Fair winds and following seas to you all.
