The Lily Jean was a commercial fishing vessel out of Gloucester, MA. On January 30, 2026, the vessel sank approximately 25 miles east of Cape Ann. All seven precious lives were lost that day. This tragedy has profoundly affected the Gloucester fishing community, as well as those who love this incredibly special place.
Last summer, I spent time drawing at the Gloucester Harbor. I made multiple sketches of F/V Lily Jean. I recently decided to create an oil painting from those sketches.
