This painting is of the steamer Cliffs Victory. The ship is painted in Cleveland Cliff's livery of black and soft green. Originally built in Portland, Oregon, the steamer was a post-WWII conversion. Besides its profile, the vessel’s trip to the lakes via the Mississippi River and Chicago, where Great Lakes modifications were made, made the vessel unique.
