As an artist, Salmon's contributions to marine art were influential in both England and America, and his works are considered an important part of the maritime artistic heritage. "American Ships in the Mersey" is a testament to his skill in portraying the majesty of sailing vessels and the bustling activity of a major port during the early 19th century.
