One fan shared these three originals of ships from their collection. He said:

My dad loves ships from the Great Lakes. His father was a chief engineer on an ore boat back in the 1920s. My dad is 85 and when I asked him where he met Gil Reid he couldn’t remember. He had him paint the attached pictures back in the middle 70s. I think most of these were from the area around Jones Island in Milwaukee.

If anyone has any more information on these paintings, we are interested in hearing what you know.
