Description:
Part of portfolio of 26 lithographs and accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson.
Text from accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson, 12: The Rachael:

"My boy, my own boy..." -
here exclaimed the stranger Captain
to Ahab...
"His son!" cried Stubb,
Oh, it's his son he's lost!"
"He's drowned with the rest on 'em..."

...by her still halting course
and winding, woeful way,
you plainly saw
that this ship that so wept with spray,
still remained without comfort.
She was Rachael,
weeping for her children,
because they were not.
