A striking example of traditional American maritime folk art, this large vintage wool work embroidery—commonly referred to as a “woolie”—depicts a majestic 19th-century clipper ship in full sail. The ship is proudly flying an early U.S. flag, embroidered in patriotic red, white, and blue against a vivid ocean-blue background. The hand-stitched textile is mounted in a deeply beveled solid wood frame, which shows signs of age consistent with older nautical art displays. This woolwork is ideal for those curating coastal interiors, traditional Americana, or Nantucket-inspired decor. The craftsmanship, scale, and subject matter make it a standout in any vintage or nautical art collection.

Estimated year: Circa 1940s–1950s, based on woolwork style, American flag configuration, and frame construction.
