Biography
Although most maritime historians agree that the inscribed "T. Davies Bangor" on the National Gallery's Ship in Full Sail (1980.62.1) should be interpreted as T. Davies of Bangor, Maine, no T. Davies who could have been active in 1827 (the date is also part of the inscription) has been discovered in Maine genealogical sources. The National Gallery's painting is the artist's only known painting. [This is an edited version of the artist's biography published in the NGA Systematic Catalogue]

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
