Located about 40 miles north of New York City, Haverstraw Bay is the widest point on the Hudson River. During the 1860s, it was a prime area for shad fishing, and Gifford’s painting records this activity taking place amid a delicately luminous morning haze. Commercial and recreational fishing for now endangered American shad is currently prohibited on the Hudson River.
