Yngve Edward Soderberg was an American watercolorist, etcher, and printmaker, who studied at art schools in Chicago and New York. During the New Deal he created several murals for public buildings in the Eastern US.

Soderberg lived and worked in the small seaport village of Mystic, Connecticut, teaching at the high school in nearby New London. His nautical paintings and prints, winter scenes and vernacular landscapes became most popular, and he became famous for his etchings of “America’s Cup” sailing scenes.

Soderberg also wrote a popular textbook entitled Drawing Boats and Ships, which saw a number of reprints. He had a number of exhibitions in the eastern states and was a member of leading societies of etchers.

All seven etchings submitted in 1932 (3) and 1936 (4) could be identified, although the motifs keep repeating.
