He relocated to New York City in 1897 and maintained a studio at 155 W. 29th Street, New York from 1907 to 1917.

During his years in Rockport, he frequently traveled to the coastal fishing villages of France, Venice, Chiogga, Italy, and North Africa to sketch and paint. Vincent is best known for his bold impressionistic marine, harbor, and waterfront scenes; especially interested in the themes of the commonplace in the working harbor---unloading fish, drying sales, boats, and watermen at work. He befriended many fishermen and they often took him out to sea so he could study their work, boats, and harbor closely. Harry A. Vincent was elected as an Associate Member of the National Academy of Design, (ANA), Allied Artists of America, New York Watercolor Club, North Shore Art Association, Rockport Art Association, and Salmagundi Club.
