Frank Millet at Sea

Frank Millet was a painter, muralist, illustrator, and sculptor. He was a friend of Howard Pyle, John Singer Sargent, and Mark Twain. 


He's seen here with some nautical murals. Unfortunately he lost his life on the Titanic, and was last seen helping women and children get onto the lifeboats.

A remarkable story, but only the last chapter in Frank Millet's remarkable life. Millet is one of the central figures in "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson.
