Soon after his arrival, he started sketching ships in nearby New York Harbor. Impressed by his precise renderings, owners and captains began commissioning him to paint \u201cportraits\u201d of their ships docked in the harbor. As his reputation grew, Jacobsen completed more than six thousand paintings that document the increasing size and gradual transition of merchant sailing ships into steamers. John McMullen (1918\u20132005), benefactor with his wife Jacqueline of this Museum, was a naval engineer and the owner of Norton Lilly, a leading ship agency company and operator of merchant navy ships. He assembled one of the largest private collections of Jacobsen\u2019s paintings, to which this work and the nearby&nbsp;<em>SS \u201cCommonwealth\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;belonged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The British steamer&nbsp;<em>Glenogle<\/em>&nbsp;was built in 1882 by London &amp; Glasgow Co. for the Glen Line based in Glasgow. Jacobsen depicts it on one of its early voyages with auxiliary sails set and flying the Union Jack and the British Red Ensign. Sold to Lim Chin Tsang of Rangoon (now Yangon, Myanmar), the passenger\/cargo ship remained in commission until 1919 when it wrecked at Syriam Flats while transporting rice from Rangoon to Calcutta.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3910_e99781-62 .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3910_e99781-62 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#f1f1f1;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-3910_e99781-62 .kt-divider{width:100%!important;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-3910_e99781-62\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-1024x383.png\" alt=\"Logo Gold\" class=\"wp-image-2910\" style=\"width:569px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-1024x383.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-768x287.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen (1850\u20131921)SS \u201cGlenogle,\u201d\u00a01884 Oil on canvasMcMullen Museum of Art, Boston College, Gift of Jacqueline McMullen, 2006.3 Nancy NetzerInaugural Robert L. and Judith T.
