Abstract
This essay explores how Clement Nye Swift's 1878 painting Une charretée de goemon sur une plage de Bretagne spoke to a range of historical practices and meanings for oceanic algae and articulated a nostalgic account of seaweed collection in the late 1800s, when traditional New England coastal practices were transforming.
