Note:	George Canning Wales 'George Wales': A leading American marine etcher and painter of the early twentieth century, George Wales actually spent the first part of his life as an architect. To this end he studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1885 to 1888. He first worked for the architectural company of Peabody & Stearns and then founded his own Boston architectural firm which he managed from 1893 to 1924. George C. Wales first studied etching in 1917 under William M. Paxton. His first published etchings such as, Susan Drew of Salem, date from that year. In 1921 Goodspeed's Bookshop in Boston launched a major exhibition of Wales's etchings and lithographs. The Sailor's Magazine and Naval Journal published by the American Seamen's Friend Society, published in 1849 reports a vessel by that name; it reads; "Ship Susan Drew, of Salem, reported at Nasaw, having been ashore off Stirrup Cays. She was abandoned by Capt. Benson."
