The parents of the then 10-year-old William gave Darlington as his place of birth. Various sources state that the later painter was born in Coatham, a place that has been chosen several times as a town name in the United Kingdom. Still other art historians assume that the artist was born in America. In the biography of many painters this is of little importance, but in the case of William Heysham Overend the place of his first years acquires a high relevance. Overend became a famous marine painter. His depictions of ships and battles demonstrate an exceptional level of expertise. The painter possessed knowledge that was unusually precise for an artist born deep in the interior. Critical art experts have doubted that an artist could have acquired this knowledge from literature, and so various theories surround the painter's early years.
After deciding on a career in art, William Heysham Overend pursued a classical education. He furthered his knowledge in the studio of Davis Cooper. Davis' father was Abraham Cooper, a British artist famous for his depictions of battles. The first years as a trained artist were difficult for William. He barely made a living, living as a lodger with an unemployed ship's engineer. Illustrations provided a steady income. He illustrated the Arctic expedition of Sir George Nares and enriched adventure stories for boys with his book illustrations. As his artistic career grew, Overend devoted himself to depicting seascapes. Until the 19th century, the sea was not appreciated as a stand-alone motif. A depiction of the sea was always accompanied by an illustration of a ship or a sea battle. Overend expanded his repertoire and began working maritime subjects in oil.
Overend was a detailed and historically observant artist. He began collecting reference material for authentic representation. He acquired naval uniforms and hats, owned a detailed model frigate, and a collection of swords and daggers that had been in the hands of naval officers. Overend also found models in paintings and depictions of uniforms. In each work of the hides not only artistic talent. The first brushstroke was preceded by time-consuming and intensive research, which, together with specialist knowledge, produced impressive seascapes. Overend's works not only won acclaim from his artistic peers, but also attracted the attention of naval historians. An August Morning with Farragut ranks among the artist's greatest paintings. To depict a naval battle during the American Civil War era, William traveled to America and viewed the original sites. He sketched the ship and made mock-ups of the officers and crew from photographs. The completion of the lucrative painting probably took place in the artist's London studio.
