"Steam Boat Along The Coast" is a painting by Alfred Wallis (1855–1942), a British fisherman and artist associated with the St Ives School in Cornwall. Wallis began painting in his later years, following the death of his wife, and his work is characterized by its naive style and maritime themes, reflecting his deep connection with the sea. "Steam Boat Along The Coast" exemplifies Wallis's approach to art, with its simplified forms, intuitive perspective, and a composition that conveys a sense of movement and the ruggedness of the coastal environment.

The painting is rendered in a limited palette, which was a hallmark of Wallis's work, often using ship paint on found materials such as cardboard, due to his limited means. The artwork captures the essence of a steamboat's journey along the coastline, possibly inspired by the sights Wallis would have witnessed during his years at sea. His use of scale and proportion often disregarded conventional perspective, instead emphasizing the elements of the scene that held the most significance to him.

Alfred Wallis's work was discovered by members of the modernist group of artists in St Ives, including Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood, who were impressed by the authenticity and rawness of his paintings. Wallis's art subsequently gained recognition and played a role in the development of British modernism, influencing a generation of artists with his intuitive and untrained approach to painting.

"Steam Boat Along The Coast" is considered an important piece within Wallis's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's unique perspective on the maritime world and his contribution to the narrative of British art in the early 20th century. Despite his outsider status in the art world during his lifetime, Wallis's work has been posthumously celebrated and is held in various public collections, including the Tate Gallery, which serves as a testament to his enduring legacy.
