This handsome example is the foremost example from this prominent Maine clock maker, exhibiting pleasing proportions and a very desirable animated rocking ship dial. The ship, which is a frigate flying an American flag, is set against a concave background painted with a rare tropical harbor sunset view, including palm trees and a cliff-side fort. The dial is elegantly signed below the calendar aperture with the clock maker’s name “James Cary / Brunswick”. The high style mahogany case has a distinctive regional fret and rests on flared French feet
