Ahoy Sailor! gathers and presents a singular collection of objects, images, and representations of sailors and seamen. The ocean has inspired an expansive world of vernacular and popular imagery, much of it uncanny and unique, produced by the tension between the laws of nature that rule the oceans. A visual feast that ranges from antique toys and postage stamps to Jean Cocteau’s beguiling sketches found in Jean Genet’s cult-classic Querelle de Brest.
