Painting of the US Coastal Survey ship Robert J. Walker by Philadelphia (?) artist W.A.C. Martin in 1852. Painting now in The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, VA. The ship sank after a collision in 1860 10 miles SE of Abescon (Atlantic City) New Jersey, with 20 lives lost. Wreck recently rediscovered and placed on the NRHP. Martins seems to have painted mainly ships, but this seems to be his only work on Commons 14000064
