William Henry Coffin was probably the son of William Coffin, Jr. who
advertised art instruction in the Nantucker Inquirer
(1824-1828). He lived on Nantucket Island until c. 1863 and
maintained ties with the Island through later life. No record has
been found of his death.
Dorothy Brewington in her Dictionary of Marine Artists says that
he was active until 1898. He was primarily a marine painter,
though he may have painted other (showing 500 of 1402 characters). |
