Hayley Lever was born in Australia and studied art in London. He was part of an artist colony in Cornwall England in St. Ives, where he produced many paintings and found his style, which was greatly influenced by Vincent Van Gogh. He moved to America, settling in New York City, where he produced much work and exhibited regularly, and soon he became an instruction at The Art Students League. The present painting is one of the best examples of his New York works regarding subject matter, size and execution. The SS Mayflower served as the Presidential Yacht for five presidents, starting with Theodore Roosevelt in 1905 until 1929.
