Description
- Exclusively available only from Mellow Monkey
- Handcrafted by local artisan, Alan Winick, this tide clock has the image of Rockport’s Motif Number 1 and the tide that rises and falls as the actual tide in your location goes from high to low.
-
Motif Number 1, located on Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts, is a replica of a former fishing shack well known to students of art and art history as “the most often-painted building in America.”
-
The original structure was built in 1884 and destroyed in the Blizzard of 1978, but an exact replica was constructed that same year.
-
Built in 1884 as Rockport was becoming home to a colony of artists and settlement of fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life.
