This famous painting by Winslow Homer from 1899, has commonly been mistitled "The Gulf Steam", when it is clearly intended to be the immediate precursor to the approaching water-spout (back, right) sucking-up the killer sharks (in the foreground), together with the boat and its oarsman - before spreading the giant carnivores liberally onshore, whence havoc ensues.
I therefore propose Homer's picture should, correctly, be re-named Incipient Sharknado 1899.
