Errata: In the last issue of Sea H istory, we printed a notice about m arine artist Louis Stephen Gadal winning "Best of Show" at the 17th An nual Maritime Art Exh ibition at the Coos Arr Museum in Orego n , fo r his watercolor Reflections, Provincetown. We erred, however, in o ur descriptio n of M r. Gadal's professional affiliations. H e is the current presidem of the Internatio nal Sociery of M arine Painters or ISMP, not M arine Artists, and he is a signature member of the Am erican Sociery of M arine Artists (ASMA) , not a Fellow. Both these o rganizations are wo rth checking out if yo u h ave an interest in marine art, whether yo u are an artist, collector, or simply have an appreciation fo r this genre. Congratula tions once again to Mr. Gadal for his awa rd . (ISMP: International Sociery of Marine Paimers, Inc., 1800 Goldston Springs Rd., Puryear, T N 38251 ; www.ismpart.com .
