Warren Sheppard was born in 1858 in Greenwich, NJ.  As well as a marine painter, he was also a designer and navigator of racing yachts which lead to his acute detail in his paintings.  He sailed along the New England coast, painting scenes from New Jersey to Maine.  He also painted canal scenes of Venice.  He died in 1937.
