This piece is from our large collection of vintage Great Lakes art.

We have several of J. Clary works of art, all of them were purchased in the early 1980's at the Coach House Art Gallery in Indian Village, Detroit, Michigan. The gallery was owned by Nona Herzog.

The history of the "Glad Tidings" is typed on the back of the piece.

Of the countless ships that tracked the Great Lakes in the 1870's and 1880's, only one carried the unlikely cargo of gospel tent, organ. Bibles and hymn books. This was the Glad Tidings called the Gospel Ship. She provided religious services to the families along Lake Michigan and Superior and to the seamen, long-shoremens, and lumbermen in the iron and lumber harbors.
