Description
Two tall, narrow segments of the panoramic entryway murals in the Cornelius Tarbox House flank the entry door on the south side of the house. On the west side is a maritime arrival scene.
In this view, seemingly the same schooner as seen on the east side of the door has dropped its sails. The absence of smoke issuing from its smokestack indicates the boat is no longer under power, but has made a safe return.
