The Gulf Stream is an 1899 oil painting by the American artist Winslow Homer.[1] It shows a man in a small dismasted rudderless fishing boat struggling against the storm-tossed waves and perils of the sea, presumably near the Gulf Stream, and was the artist's statement on a theme that had interested him for more than a decade.[2][3] During the time he explored this theme, Homer, a New Englander, boated often near Florida, Cuba, and the Caribbean.
