Summary

Description

Painting of burning tanker of the North Atlantic. Painted by Lieutenant Commander Anton Otto Fischer, U.S.C.G.R., in early February 1943. The burning tanker sends up a pyre of red flame as its crew pull away in lifeboats. The scarlet glare of the oil fire and the shimmering waves of unbearable heat will soon be replaced by bitter, numbing cold as boats leave the stricken ship behind.
