About Artwork: (1852) "The towboat Conqueror was built in New Albany, Indiana, in 1847. Evans painted the boat as it had appeared on October 29, 1847; the picture evidently was commissioned by Captain John Heaton in November 1852. The other ships shown in the painting are the Maritana, the Megunticook, the Lord Seaton, the Oswego, and the Laura. Because of the Mississippi's strong current, such sailing vessels had to be towed upriver to New Orleans by steam tugs from Balize, the pilot station on the northeast pass. Balize can be seen on the left, and on the right, is a dry dock and the Belleville iron foundry." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
