The Pilgrim Whale, an original serigraph by Monterey, California artist Jeffrey Sax, was designed for the Orange County Marine Institute to commemorate the second annual Bon Voyage Party for the brig Pilgrim, in anticipation of the 1989 Tall Ship Festival. Sax, whose works have hung alongside those of Picasso, Andy Warhol and Cheret in museums as well as private collections, was commissioned by the Sand Dollar Guild. He was asked to create a hand-painted serigraph depicting the union of the Pilgrim with the California Gray Whale. The motto projected: "We have not inherited the ocean from our parents, but are borrowing it from our children." Jeff Sax's six-color, numbered and signed serigraph successfully reflects whale power united with the spirit of the Pilgrim to help teach students respect for marine life and the necessity of preserving all of its forms.
