You might try the Lower Lakes Marine Historical Society, 101 Great Arrow, Buffalo, 14216 (I don't have a phone number) or the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, 716-873-9612, which may have an illustration and/or the phone number for the LLMHS.

For a slide show I am putting together, I am searching for a photogenic painting or print showing one or two sloops or large boats typical of Great Lakes civilian shipping in the early 19th century. Does not have to be a period image, but better if it is, and even better if Lake Ontario. Nothing after 1820ish. Best if pre-1812.
